I love random surfing around the internet, you never know where it will take you. For instance, the other day i stumbled across this incredibly fun site called RadarVirtuel – http://www.radarvirtuel.com/
Using Google Maps, RadarVirtuel allows you to track aircraft flights & flightpath in real time around the world. Simply select/zoom into an area on the global map and select a aircraft icon to view aircraft details. Details on the flight and aircraft are displayed as well as offering links to further information/photos of the actual aircraft.
I’ve had a lot of fun, tracking aircraft which enter the airspace around where we live and then going outside to watch them fly over! Geeky I know, but certainly worth a look
Tracking a Airbus A330 from Atlanta to Mumbai which looks like it it might fly over our house.
…and outside a few minutes later, there it is! - Airbus A330-233, N853NW
Using the aircraft locater links of the website, you can browse photographs of the actual aircraft.
