Follow Aircraft In Flight Worldwide!!

This is absolutely real time...very cool!

         Every day we see planes, sometimes very high, with or without con-trails. Have you
ever wondered what plane is flying overhead and where it is going?  Airbus A320, 330, Boeing 727,
747 or some other manufacturer. What altitude, what speed, what airline?

         Now you can see all this information instantly. You can watch the plane whose vapor
trail you can see over head move across the land and see what the plane is flying over. It is
fascinating to see how many aircraft are flying in your area. I can now see why an air traffic
controller is one very, very busy person.

         A note to help you get more out of your visit to the site. This shows 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 various airport air traffic
management people see for planning purposes.

         Some additional 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. When you double click on a
airplane, the left screen will show all the related information - airline, plane type, air speed,
altitude in real time that is re-calculated every 10 seconds. On some, you can also click on view
from the cockpit. A few planes will show as 'blocked", and these are likely military aircraft.
         
IT WORKS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but all those aircraft that are more than 200 nm off the coasts are not in radar contact.  Their positions are posted manually by the crews calling in their positions.

Yes, and.......... ? ? ? ? ??

Are you saying they aren't there or something's wrong with the display or site?    ......or, what?

Of course there aren't radar locations IN the Oceans.

I think in lieu of the lost Malaysian airliner, and that Radar is not present for trans continental (ocean) flights that ALL Airliners should install GPS responders.
