Have you ever looked up and wondered where the plane flying above you has come from, or where it's going to. The app FLIGHT RADAR 24 will tell you all this and more, in real time. It tells you the speed the height the call sign, the route the plane is taking and it's eta, and it shows a photo of the very plane too.
The top photo shows a plane from Heathrow going to Austin (Texas )? about to go over my home, the bottom photo shows the plane from my garden a few minutes later. Any plane in the world, 24 hrs a day can be viewed.........All this for £5 But on the other hand ...you may not care !!!
You don't have to pay. I used to have it free. I'll try and find the website. They also do one for ships.
ReplyDeleteyou're kinda goofy! but at the same time, neat to see a jet from your side of the pond coming over to my state!
ReplyDeletetechnology is amazing how it tracks now. I bring home a photo of a vessel in the harbour - and see all those details noted too with its origins, age, specs etc. The web offers so much doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteInteresting stuff to be sure. I played around with free version of this or similar app for tracking planes a few months back but it was kind of buggy and it was about 10 minutes delayed and not in real time. This one you've paid for might be the one to have alright!
ReplyDeleteHI Peter Yes that is good value and I am sure you can get another one for where all the ships are in the world. The other day a friend sent me the link to the same thing for your computer or Ipad for FREE. http://www.flightrader24.com/ Try it out.
