Flightradar24.........amazing how many commercial aircraft fly at any one time,and how advanced technology is to show so much real time info.

 

[big-all]

to be fair the aircraft are about half a mile square and off course can be at several levels but as you say impressive

Also remember there are lots of small aircraft and military flying about not shown, I usually look before I retire, loads of cargo flights about then

ADS-B Exchange for military aircraft, and Marine Traffic for ships.

I live very close to Gatwick airport. I can look on flightradar24, watch a plane take off, then see the actual plane moments later through the window!

When the wind is in the right direction I can hear the planes take off, but the flight path isnt over the village so almost never hear planes flying overhead.

Dork has died & gone to heaven when flightradar, live webcam & live ATC are all tuned in to the same spot.

Sadly, this isn't allowed to happen in the UK, but KLAX is a good one.

One of my better discoveries was hearing a small plane flying over my area one night for hours, checked the reg number and did some research, it was the EA laser scanning flood prone areas
