This website is quite amazing: world radar map of all
planes in the sky, real-time, updated every 10 seconds (wait for the planes to
move) and with all the technical details of plane, airline & flight and even a picture of the aircraft itself (stock file photo).
It tells you where the plane came from, where is it going, what
altitude, what speed, What airline, etc.. There are many aircraft in the sky
over every town I think you will be surprised. t
Here are some notes 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:
1. You can drag the map to move it to another city or
State.
2. When you
Click on an airplane, 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.
3. If you have
someone you want to pickup from the airport, it shows the expected landing
time.
4. I like the
fact that when you click on a plane, you see a blue line suddenly appear to
tell you where the plane came from – a nice feedback.
As you find things I haven’t
discovered, please comment. I think this
site will be a great deal of fun. It
must be the same information that the aircraft controllers see, or at least the
commercial flights. Someone, somewhere,
working for the airlines themselves probably use this site.
