It's delayed 10 minutes for security, but it's still pretty cool to watch!

Click on the planes and it gives you altitude etc...

prob goes off of the planes transponders then sent through a server that tracks the flights.. there are MUCH more accurate programs used for this but these sites are fun to watch :) Thanks for thelinks Chad I think I am going to fire up my FS2000 and flay for a few... I need to keep my flight status even though I have not been able to fly since 1997 :( That is a RICH mans hobbie LOL but I can say that I have done it.
