WHOA! This is actually really cool... ^

I checked this out late last night and decided that FedEx should be my preferred carrier out of IND.

This site is a great resource...and a great time-waster. Now to exercise self-control at work so I'm not watching it all day...

Now we just need wireless on the plane for when they remove the map for the damn IFM.

wow, nice ^

Does this website have the ability to track the flight in a real time manner - without having to keep entering the airline and flight number in? If so I can't seem to find it.

Well, there went that hour! Very cool site. Looks like it's still in Beta stage. i may need a 12 step program to get over this thing. ;)

Thanks for the link. It's amazing how there are always new ways to waste countless hours :)

The map of the flight should open in a separate window. It should keep refreshing with position changes, but if it doesn't just hit Ctrl-R.

(Keeping in mind that, per the site FAQ, there is a 6 minute delay on the data)

Very cool for the US but it doesn't work on the rest of the world. :(

I got it now!

If you click on the map it then opens in another window and it works :D

Now I wonder if it is the actual track of the flight OR just the projected track. I will have to ask a friend to find out.

I'm pretty sure the tracks (live and historical) are real, and not projections. After a recent flight from DFW-EWR, I went to the website to see the historical track, and sure enough, it had a big loop in it where we circled over Virginia for 20 minutes in a holding pattern. Very cool!

Great site!
Thanks.

And it is the only free site that I have found that allows you to track private aircraft using call letters.

It gives actual positions - clicking the 'en route' link next to status, you get minute by minute lat/lons and altitudes.

Cool ^^^
