Add Folium support for interactive trajectory maps #963
Description
Description:
I'd like to add Folium as an optional visualization tool for Flight objects.
What problem does this solve?
Currently, trajectory visualization is limited. Folium would allow users to see launch and landing sites on interactive real-world maps.
Proposed solution:
Add a method Flight.plot_trajectory_on_map() that:
- Shows the full trajectory path
- Marks launch and landing sites
- Creates an interactive HTML map
Why Folium?
- Lightweight and easy to use
- Works directly in Jupyter/Colab
- Open-source and well-maintained
Checklist before submitting:
- I have searched for existing issues about this
- I am willing to implement this feature

I think the idea is great. I have experience with folium and I know it is a very good package and the results can be quite nice.
We have some internal tools at this org that already deal with folium, you can reach out to us so we can share some example files with you.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! I'm really glad you like the idea.
I would really appreciate it if you could share some example files showing how Folium is currently used within the organization. That would help me a lot to understand your style and avoid reinventing the wheel.
