I just flown to Sweden and landed in a Housing Estate at 500 feet. Quick phone the Fire Brigade and Ambulance!
I presume this is new Chicken Run, as I've never noticed it before on Flight Radar ?

This website is quality. NOt total coverage, but it's constantly improving. Cockpit view is so so good.

hours of fun.

Maybe minutes

Any live chemtrails?

Awesome site. Shame that the cockpit view isn't the real cockpit view.

Interesting to see the routes these planes take and where they are going to and from...

Absolutely love it. I can see many a wasted hour looking at it.

Yeah it's brilliant that website

I've been on an off this site for months, sad as it sounds its pretty accurate, just as the Virgin Atlantic in from Cancun came over Burgess today sure enough I stuck my head out the window and it was flying over.

If you can select a London City approach flight, fantastic view as you come into to land towards Canary Warf

You had me all excited thinking it was going to be a live view - it's just the Google Earth view using the real co-ordinates. Having worked on real flight-simulators (if that's not an oxymoron) for 7 years in the 80s, this would have been a revelation.

Trick mate, the clue surely was in the title?

Another good site is Flightdiary , you can join up with your Facebook account and keep a record of your flights. You get them all shown on a map with the data. If you put in a future flight, you can tick a box and when it takes off it will post a message to your Facebook wall with a link to the flightradar24 page tracking the flight you're on live. Awesome stuff.

I hate you so much. I do not have the will power to get off that fecking site.

If you go on Google Earth - tools - enter flight simulator, you can fly the planes yourself!

Okay I have a question about the flight paths. Do flights tend to follow the same flight path? For example will a flight leaving Gatwick today for Barcelona follow the same flight path as the same flight leaving in 2 weeks time? I guess that take off and the approach to the airport may be slightly different depending on the other traffic in the area.

I have this on my iPad, when a plane wakes me up at 3:00am I can find out which company runs it and shout at them, makes me feel better somehow
