On a recent trip to the National Air and Space museum, I noticed an exhibit about Patty Wagstaff, a well-known (in the right circles) aerobatic champion. Part of the exhibit includes one of her winning routines, documented in Aresti notation. Pilots competing in aerobatic competitions submit these routines to the competition judges, who then score the pilot; each maneuver has an associated difficulty which also figures into the score.

The Aresti key was later revised/updated by CIVA.

Thought these types of displays make a good companion to the diagrams of dance notation available in Tufte's book Envisioning Information.
