Have you ever wondered where that plane flying over head is going and what type of aircraft?

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.
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. but before clicking on the link:

http://www.flightradar24.com/

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’.

Great site! Seeing how many planes are in the air at any given moment makes you realize how safe air travel really is. Especially considering the number of people who die from smoking related causes is equal to more than 2 Jumbo Jets full of people crashing every day. And that's in the US alone!

Thanks for this. I had another site I used to use when i would pick up friends from airport. Great for finding delays. This site is much better.

Some of the information is, however, seemingly nuts. For instance what is a flight supposedly from Hartsfield-Jackson International in Atlanta, to Jacksonville, Florida doing over central New York?

Likewise what is a flight from Denver to Amsterdam - which on a great circle route should be over Hudson's Bay doing flying over Kingston?
