Check out the planes flying over your house! Really cool!

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. Planes in Flight... 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 the information instantly on your screen. Some tricks; Drag the map to take you to the area you want to view 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. Click on a airplane, and on the left screen you will get all the info. airline, type, speed, altitude in real time, re calculated every 10 seconds. On some you can also click on ‘view from the cockpit’. ​HAVE FUN!! http://www.flightradar24.com/

This was cool. I always look to the sky and wonder where the plane is going. I am such a dreamer

Most of the planes round here are the small boat and ski planes taking off from the lake. Though there's the odd jumbo flying over each day.

I used to do that when i was a child. At that time, planes were really mysterious. Even now, when i see a plane over my head, i still get a bit excited.

Neat!

i tested this out over the last while and noticed 3 planes, none of which was visible on this site. Probably all military. But this app will be lots of fun for me as I am out at night a lot!

It is very interesting last night there was an Aeroflot plane flying from Los Angeles to Moscow and it flew over between Red Deer and Stettler.
