    flightradar24

    An interesting site. shows live air traffic from around the world by taking advantage of automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast technology.

    Some great functions, and interactivity.

    Anyone else use this before?

    Flightradar24.com - Live flight tracker!

    Quite amazing, can't think of a use for it unless you were a airplane version of a trainspotter or a terrorist though.

    Yes....that's what I was thinking.
    The respective authories and the airlines probably don't care for the idea of bringing unneeded attention.

    There are some very clever folks out there.
