Proof-of-concept 3D multi-wavelength data rendering in FRELLED. So far as I know, no other FITS viewer can do this.

The HI is from the GALFA-HI survey while the CO data is from the Extended Outer Galaxy Survey. A certain Kevin Douglas was kind enough to provide data sets which had already been correctly aligned.
