Flight Radar

Follow someone's flight path (or your own) from beginning to destination.
Have you ever wondered where that plane flying over head is going and
What type of aircraft? Every day you see planes in the sky, sometimes
Very high, with or without con-trails. We often ask ourselves these
Questions: What type of plane, Airbus A320,330, Boeing 727, 747 or
Some other manufacturer.
Where did it come from, where is it going, what altitude, what speed,
What airline, etc.. Well, now you can see all this information
Instantly on your laptop screen. I just watched the plane whose vapor
Trail I could see over head, on my laptop, and was blown away by all
The information and also the view.
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 air traffic
Controller is one very, very busy person.
Here is a note to help you get more out of your visit to this site.
These are all the aircraft in the air right now. In the left hand
Column, there is a box called "planes". The number in the box is the
Number of aircraft airborne. This view is what the various airport air
Traffic management people see for planning purposes.
Some additional tricks:
Drag your mouse on the map to take you to the area you want to view.
To view your region or town, you can zoom in by tapping with your
Mouse. On the map you will see all the planes in the air. When you
Click on a airplane, on the left screen you will get all the
Information related to; airline, plane type, air speed, altitude in
Real time that is re-calculated every 10 seconds. On some you can also
Click on view from the cockpit.
IT WORKS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD....

And I'm sure the government planes in the air performing their geo engineering spraying here on the shore are listed too. Cool site for domestic aircraft. I want an explanation for the expand in the sky, spraying of nano particulate aluminum oxide, barium, and strontium!
