Did you even try to find any on your own?

Sheesh.


As a matter of fact I tried and could not find what I was looking for, therefore I turned to a topic specific group for a bit of "help". I have an idea, keep your ignorant comments to yourself and keep your mouth shut if you don't have "helpful" information to share.

Flightaware

Just remember that they update the page every minute and that the info is 7 mins behind. I monitor a few freqs and watch traffic over Toronto. The inbound (westbound) flights are visible over me and show about 100 miles away in Flightaware. So plan your spotting based on the nearest airport that puts the aircraft over a point and you should see them OTT (Over The Top). For me it's CYPQ in Flightaware and they are over CYYZ as I look up. Best days are when they are trailing. Then ACARS can help you tie up the aircraft, from the flight numbers. Been OTT spotting for years and works great. Select the airport, enter the code (ie: KORD) when the page loads, click on the small map on the upper rightside. This opens another window and this is your map.

Make sense?

None of the sites are 'real time', because 'that would help terrorists'. (The all purpose excuse, these days)

Of course, actual terrorists would just pay the $1k to buy their own transponder monitor, and actually GET real time info.

Of course, not letting them be 'real time' also allows the providers to give you that service for a fee...

Tell me about it.

The price of chicken has gone up in Mexico City.

Why?

Answer: Because of the terrrr'ists.

It seems every monkey and their uncle are using that excuse now days for whatever fits their agenda.

At the risk of jumping into the fray ... :D

perhaps your Internet searching, LGLHOOK, would be more productive if you would properly speal your search terms. I used words from your OP, "track avation[sic] real time", and plugged them into Google. After correcting for the obivous misspelling, flightaware.com is the fifth result returned. :)

I will let other readers of this thread decide for themselves how much effort, if any, you exerted. :)

That being said, you've been a member here for long enough that this topic has been covered many times already. A search of the radioreference.com fourms would have yeilded a similar result. :)
