Default For those who like planes

Flightradar24.com - Live flight tracker!

Have you ever wondered where that plane flying over head is going and what type of aircraft I just watched on my laptop the plane whose vapor trail I could see over head and was blown away by all the information and also the view.

This is definitely a keeper.

You are also going to be totally blown away when you see how many aircraft are flying in your area...

I can now see why an aircraft traffic controller is one very, very busy person. You can see all the information instantly on your screen. but before clicking on the link:

Some tricks;

On the map you will see all the planes in the air

To view your region or town, you can zoom in by tapping with your mouse.

Click on a airplane, and on the left screen you will get all the info:
airline, type, speed, altitude in real time, re calculated every 10 seconds. On some you can also click on ‘view from the cockpit’.

This is amazing stuff, we are on a flight path and I can see that at the moment they are coming from the other direction.
