Cool aviation screensavers ?

Untill about two years ago, i used the Star Alliance screen saver. I thought it was pretty cool, but they stopped supporting it a while ago. Does anybody know of any other cool (civil) aviation screensavers ? If yes, could you be so kind to include a link in your reply ?
Thanks !

The online article is a shorter version of the one published in the newspaper. In the newspaper article prof. Eddy Van de Voorde (air transport economics, UA) lauds the Brussels Airlines management for their innovative moves.

Re: Solar Impulse to fly US coast-to-coast in 2013

hmmmpppffff As regards Dutch grammar, it is either "je/jij slaat" or "gij/ge slaagt", or so I was taught at school. But that's a long time ago, admittedly, perhaps they changed it since. Can't see any good reason, though. jij slaat = you hit something/someone gij slaagt = you su...

Re: "Brussels Airlines new US destination"-poll (after JFK)

I voted for Boston, seemingly the most popular choice. Personally i would also take a long look at Atlanta. I know, the Delta dominance at ATL is daunting, but it seems a bit underserved by Star Alliance carriers (from the top of my head, i think only LH offers transantlantic flights there...) Might...

Re: How did your passion start?

I can pinpoint the start of my passion for planes and flying to one precise moment. I must have been around 5 or 6 years old when my mom and dad took me to the airport at Ostend, which at that time had an open air terrace. there was only one airplane present near the terminal, but what a beauty she ...
