Very cool

Thanks!

-- the link appears to be a search for flight 67 (&flightStatus.flightNumber=67). Can you restrict the search to a specific plane? I guess you could also search for N638VA on http://flightaware.com

-- I also found this interesting little snippet of code:

...
marckPositionAndShowPopup(map, htmlStr, "","37.618972" ,"-122.374889" ,".N638VA");
...

It appears that this page is hard coded to show N638VA... (unless the tailNum value is inserted server-side). It also looks like any plane other than *638* will show up purple - look for a red plane.
