Wow. FlightRadar24 app

Post by Cyrus »

If you haven't already heard of it, please get the FlightRadar24 app on your iPhone, Android, etc. as soon as possible. I just discovered it and I doubt I'll be getting any work done for the rest of the day :lol:

Be sure to get the $2.99 "pro" version... and click the "Augmented Reality" button. I just flew with a Cessna coming into SNA as he floated down the glideslope (cockpit eye view). After lining himself up, it was so cool to see him flying a heading of 194.

Check your coverage area first though, at http://www.FlightRadar24.com

You. Will. Not. Regret. It.

Guys, check out the app or website right now and you'll actually see the doomed turboprop (N900KN) currently floating over Cuba (see www.cnn.com or any new site)

It's pretty scary... and sad... watching it all take place in real time.

I'll give it to you, Cyrus- that's awesome. Being able to sit here and pinpoint real time what airliners are going right over my head is pretty cool!
