Flight tracking website?
Hi,

I couldn't find a general questions forum, so I thought I'd try here:
I'm wondering if there's any website that can give flight status information for an airport, including any private jets that takeoff/arrive.

What I'm actually looking for is to be able to track when sports teams (in particular, the Canucks) will be departing/arriving the airport in Vancouver. They travel on Air Canada's private jet service, called Air Canada Jetz.

Thanks in advance!

Josh

There are a couple of websites you could probably use FlightAware (http://www.flightaware.com) or perhaps Flight Stats (http://www.flightstats.com).

Good luck..

Flightaware is better I think for OP's purpose, there's even a thread devoted to NHL flights: http://discussions.flightaware.com/v...ic.php?t=12013

Canucks are ACA7037 and 7038.

So these websites navigate exactly where the airplane is, or estimate the airplane in accordance to its schedule and route?

In my experience (which is limited and based on my kids flying alone usually) they are accurate to the actual flight but delayed about 8-10 minutes. YMMV but that's what I've found!

At least some of the flight trackers note that position tracking is delayed 5 minutes for safety/security reasons.
