Hm, it appears Google gets more useful every day!

A new 'hidden' feature allows you to type in an aircraft registry number (ie N782UA) and Google will provide you with a link to the faa.gov website showing the owner, age, etc. of that aircraft. thought this to be a fun tool I stumbled upon...

FYI, this also works for phone numbers, UPC codes, package tracking numbers, and a lot of other things that are hidden there...

Nice tip!

But since it's not UA-specific, I'm going to move to Travel Buzz. Please continue to follow it there.

Not only that, but you can also google for flight status:

united 880

or, for airport status:

ord airport

Not to mention: UPS/FedEx/USPS tracking numbers, definitions, math equations, unit conversions, phone numbers, area codes, business names, zip codes, UPC codes, VIN numbers, patent numbers, stock quotes...

I love Google.
