Flightstats Website "Update"

I have always used Flightstats as the website of choice to look at whole-airport arrivals and departures. Useful for when I'm doing casual spotting or just curious about general delays, etc. However, it looks like they have become the latest to succumb to the scourge that is tablet-friendly design. Their new site, aside from only being able to fit about 8 flights on a screen (due to enormous "tablet friendly" fonts and blocks), doesn't seem to show equipment anymore.

Does anyone have a preferred alternative site for showing whole-airport traffic info?

Do web designers really not understand that while, yes, tablets are hip, most people still use COMPUTERS to view the web??? I don't know of any professional who sits at his desk using a tablet for 8+ hours a day...
