Study Aircraft movement over airports

Go Here 1st and click on an airport of interest.

Track out to 80 miles and see how many aircraft are in the air at one time.

This site enables you to track a flight in real time so you can watch/monitor the landing of a craft carrying friends/relatives with ease.

Highlight one near the airport and watch the display to the right and watch it descend till it's landed. Just like being there.

Fun Innit!

Note:- the main site is presently having a few probs so 'Other airports' isn't working.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

    It's cool and slightly worrying at the same time, especially when you see how near they are to each other :eek: :T

    Possibly, but it does say that there is a 10 minute time delay and filtered information for security reasons.

    As long as you can't see more than 10 minutes flying time away that is (assuming an aircraft is flying in a straight track) - I'm also sure Airforce 1 won't be showing up neither will Washington DC !

    The aircraft type is shown - so you can tell a Learjet (little value to terrorist probably) from a Boeing 747 ...

    Check the site out again Tomorrow because I thought that they covered UK airports too.

    No, it's the same as yesterday. Shame as I wanted to watch Gatwick.

    I usually use the site below to track relatives' flights - it works quite well:

    This seems to be just American and Canadian flights. Is there a UK or Europe one?
