Title: All the planes ....
Post by: midlifeaspie on February 22, 2013, 12:27:15 PM
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 can't fly any more!  I do like watching Air Crash Investigation though  :LOL:

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

  Flying can take you across the country to meet a friend and go shooting!   :litigious:

MLA, this is your fault. I logged on to Flightradar and noticed that they have a special app sale, this weekend only. I bought the iPhone app right away.

You can point the camera at a jet trail in the sky and find out what flight it is.

It's extremely cool. If you have a smartphone, buy the app. It's awesome and it costs $0.99. This weekend.

I am probably getting a smart phone in the next month or so so I can take credit cards and I can put that app on the list of ones I want

It's so much fun, that app. I suppose it helps to be a spazz to enjoy something like it, but who cares?

I live next to an airport, so now I am going to have to get it too.

Too bad it doesn't display military jets.  I constantly have A-10s and F-15s cruising around over my house.  Always curious about what they are up to.
