Flight tracker?

[corbintechboy]

Many moons ago I used to monitor aircraft (ok I am 31 not so many moons). I had a website that would show radar info and had it set up as active desktop as a reference. Is there such a thing nowadays?

I use www.atcmonitor.com for Atlanta

I use Flight Explorer personal edition. 9.99 a month for 10 hours and your charged accordingly after 10 hours. Kind of like cell phones. I like mine. I watched the NASA KC-135 and 10 minutes behind, the 747 w/shuttle scoot across from Edwards AFB to OK and then to Louisiana. It's kind of neat.

check out the following website. I haven't used it, but its free and looks good.

Here is a really neat link for monitoring aircraft radar data. It isn't very useful for monitoring a single, specific ac, but it is fascinating to watch "flow" around major airports.

Go to the individual airport sites that have the url format like "http://www4.passur.com/airportcode"

Although it does not have the nice graphics that FlightExplorer and AirNav have, FBOWeb.com has a flight tracker also that you can use. It is $9.95 a month for unlimited usage. I wish those other ones would charge their amount for unlimited usage also or I would consider moving over to one of them.

Just curious if anyone has used any of the AirNav systems flight trackers versus the one from FlightExplorer. Just trying to decide which would be better to use. They both have a 10 hr. allocation per month, but I was wondering which was a better bang for the buck.

Edit:
After reading more, it looks like AirNav Systems gives you 60 hours a month, not 10 hours. Sound better to me.
