Someone had posted some maps on 'flowingdata.com' showing the
major airline routes.  Two separate people both forwarded it to me,
and said I should do a SAS/Graph version.

Well, here it is - the SAS/Graph version! :)

And, with a little help from Rick Wicklin, who used SAS/IML
to call the R routines that were used to create the flowingdata 
map, and calculate points 50 points along the path from each 
airport source->destination, we get an even more accurate 
version, in which the lines curve like they should (assuming
the shortest distance between 2 points is the Great Circel
line between them), we get:
