Thread: Fun site for the pilots and pilot wannabes

or maybe air traffic control wannabes..
Flightradar24.com - Live flight tracker!

some tricks;


on the map you will see all the planes in the air.


To view your region or town, you can zoom in by tapping with your mouse.


click on a airplane, and on the left screen you will get all the info.


airline, type, speed, altitude in real time, re calculated every 10 seconds.


on some you can also click on ‘view from the cockpit.

I wanted to be a Marine pilot, but the recruiter said I was too short & had bad eye sight.
But, not all was lost,
I did get to work in a chow hall serving Marine pilots.

That's a cool app. I have a friend who's in the air now and I found her flight.

That's pretty cool. I'll check tonight on my old FedEx route, and see how it works on the "Freight Dogs". Flightaware.com is also pretty good for tracking all kinds of flights. I've used it to track students on their long cross country training flights.

I will stick with just dispatching them.

Is anyone on the forum a pilot? I am a wanna be, I flew an intro in a cessna 172 which was a blast, hooked ever since and been obsessed with planes since I was a boy. Keep waiting for the day when I get to start my private license program! In the mean time I got scuba certified which is awesome as well!

Are you a dispatcher?

na he just enjoys yelling really loud at them in hopes they will answer when they fly over him lol

im sorry i couldent thelp myself.

This is cool! I wish i had that when growing up. I used to watch them in the air and wonder where they were going etc.

I just watched 2 pass over my mothers farm and the first was a Fed Ex going to Indiana and the second was UPS going to Saint Louis.

I hope i don't waste to much time reliving my childhood and watching this.

I remember my first flight. It seems like a long time ago but I don't think I will ever forget it.
