All the planes ....

This is pretty cool.  All the planes in the air right now, worldwide, giving name, direction, speed, model, etc.

Some will even allow you to see a view from the cockpit.  I assume it's a simulated view using Google Earth cuz I can't load it from this machine.

That is cool.  :thumbup: I used to have a fascination with planes when I worked on them. Now I like them for where they go.

Wow. That's alot of planes. :o

Never flown, guess I never realized just how many are up there. :zombiefuck:

I like sitting out on the porch and homing in on them with high-powered binocs on lazy days.

Have a look at Frankfurt or JFK. Whenever I'm flying through Frankfurt I try very hard not to think about Flightradar. That place is scary--when you take off at night you can sometimes spot dozens of planes waiting for their turn to land.

I watch that sometimes. Not the night before I'm flying but often enough.
