AIR WORLDWIDE FLIGHT RADAR24.COM-Flight Information

[JohnnyDos]

This is amazing!!
---------------------
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 vapour 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.
 
If you can get this working for you it will tell you who is flying and where they are going.
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 traffic management people see for planning purposes at the various airports.
Every day you see planes in the sky, sometimes very high..with or without con-trails.
We ask ourselves questions :
What type of plane, airbus A320,330,350? Boeing.....or other.
Where does it come from, where is it going, what altitude, what speed, what company etc.
You can see all that information instantly on your screen.
 
Some tricks;
Drag the map to take you to the area you want to view .................  maybe over your town.
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 over or near your town.
Click on a airplane, and on the left screen you will get all the info on that plane, including
airline, type, speed, altitude in real time, re calculated every 10 seconds.
On some you can also click on ‘view from the cockpit’. ...
 
 
So here is the website.   Have fun!!  And use it to see if the plane you are going to meet is on time or late.

I just bought the app....I live in NJ and newark, jfk, laguardia and teterboro are all within 15 miles of me.....this is pretty cool....

 

Knew there were alot of G5's out of teterboro but seeing where they go is heartbreaking cause I am not going anywhere....

 

Saw a G5 today headed for caracus....

That is awesome. It can be pretty mind boggling when you look at a larger area and see so many planes in such seemingly close proximity. Of course the altitude is not clearly visible on the map but you get the picture. I am amazed that ATCs don't make more mistakes (glad they don't though)

Another site similar to the one above which I use is Plane Finder- shows everywhere>

There is an app for the I Phone I do not know if its for any other phone. What you do is fire up the camera and look at the plane through it and al the info for that plane shows up. What a world we live in

ATC is rated the highest stress job in the USA. They make tons of money and retire in half the time the rest of us do...  also if they make a mistake they can lose their job. Talk about stressful!

Thanks Johnny! That is amazing! I bought the app to track my friend flying in tomorrow morning!

I've been using this for years, Johnny, as we are under one of the busiest air "highways" into the country.

 

I also use a similar tool to keep tabs on what is passing off our coast: http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/
