Any different features besides the airline list?

There's a tool for the NYC/NJ airports here:
http://tracker.flightview.com/htNYNJ...RY&airport=EWR
One of its nifty features is the ability to list all traffic to/from an airport. A link to this for EWR is here:
http://tracker.flightview.com/htNYNJ...Map.asp?ap=EWR
It is based on a more generic tool that shows individual flights *or* traffic for a particular airport *or* all traffic:

RLM software
I use rlmsoftware for tracking flights in real time. Seems to work much better than the airline sights, but indeed doesn't offer all flights and many areas.

One minor issue - I would like to see the map when I'm using the PC rather than when I'm not... When the screensaver comes on, only my chair gets to see it...

Put in your destination/arrival airports and airlines and you'll get detailed flight info including a chart of where the flight is
