FlightAware is at least updated in real-time, shows SIGWX/RADAR, shows altitude and the flight path. The Google Earth plug-in is cool, but FlightAware is better, especially if you have to meet the flight, say to pick someone up. FlightAware also has very good historical data.
WorldPerks forum or TravelBuzz! forum?
Yes you are correct, I did not see the "near real time" until you pointed it out. Nice technology though. The 3 dimensional flight path is really cool on approach and climb out, particularly when there are a number of AC in the area. I was going to post somewhere else but did a search on this forum and the string came up so I figured it was ok. Feel free to move it.
