I'm glad people are finding this site interesting. I actually posted about it before, but the thread never took off for some reason. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...lightaware.com

It is a terrific time waster...

One other point: if you do a search for airport traffic, the site gives you the current and forecast weather for that station, albeit encoded in METAR or TAF format. Very helpful if you're checking possibly iffy destination weather.

It's not one of the best tracking sites I've seen - it's THE best tracking site!! It's hard to put it aside and do something else...

Does anyone else stop and watch the live 3D map of the Bay Area they have at SFO? I think it is there to map approach routes in accordance with noise abatement laws, but I find it very interesting. I especially like how the different airlines' liveries are applied to the 3D aircraft models according to their callsign. I'd love to be able to recreate that on my PC.
