    Default Live Air Traffic Control

    http://www.flightradar24.com/

    Thought this might be of interest to some people... It shows all the live flights across europe, giving detail on start and destination airport, altitude, speed, flight number etc etc... Just click on a plane to see the details in the right hand side of the screen quite interesting (No I am not a plane spotter)
    If you can't run with the big dogs, stay in the porch!!!!

    Are you sure, I heard this got lifted, can you quote the ruling?

    Same here http://www.radarvirtuel.com/ and on the iphone, look for 'Plane Finder' in the App Store.

    Wow this is incredible I used to love playing an ATC game back in the days when Windows 3.11 was cool, but can't for the life of me remember what it was!

    I like this. Not that I'm a spotter or anything but I'm facinated by them, we went to LegoLand a few weeks back and you can watch them all day one after another after another....

    what's the point of it being 15 mins behind? - Surely you can work out roughly where they're going to be.

    It's not 15 mins behind, it's as good as real time now. I am pretty certain I read something a few months ago where that limit, (I think it used to be 5 mins) was lifted. Watched an Air France 777 fly right over my house today on it's way into Paris, that was in real time both on my iPhone and on the radar link above.
