This is brilliant and a bit mesmerizing. Launch the page, zoom in on your airport of interest, and watch the flights do their thing. Click on one of the icons and detailed information about that particular flight, along with the path from its origin, will appear in a sidebar. Love this.
Real-time flight tracking
The iPad/iPhone apps are excellent too. Love the “3D real time cockpit view”
This is a pretty nice implementation. There are several sites that do this. One of the ones I like Plane Finder, http://planefinder.net/ also has a Sea Vessel tracker: http://shipfinder.co/ and they just released a 3D visual of certain airports: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plane-finder-3d/id648280001?mt=12 (Non-affiliated Mac App Store link), which is pretty cool.
I have their iOS app for 2 years or so. Point the camera at the sky and it even tells you which plane is flying overhead – where it’s coming from and where it’s heading. Fascinating
Wow. This is amazing! The cockpit view is incredible.
