Wasn't there someone on here who had that app and whenever a plane on it went past his house he ran outside to look up at it and dream of the adventures the people in it were going to have?

That might have been me if that same person pretended he actually lived in these boss places but in reality lived in a bedsit and hasn't left Europe.

7 Singapore airforce planes currently circling Perth.
The invasion has started

Flight QS 4126 is the only plane flying westwards over the Atlantic, straight into about 200 planes flying Eastwards. Not going to end well

very addictive ,live atc is another fun one.Tuesday in shannon a pilot was having difficulty with his controls.airport police,fire brigade were all on standby.mate of mine was listening on this site and said the pilot sounded like he was riding a bike and was as cool as a breeze.

I've had that app for quite awhile. I'm a commercial airline enthusiast, especially the heavy jets. Get a few in Houston but not like you get in the major population centers.

When I see a heavy over head at about 36,000 ft, I whip out the Flight Radar and try and figure out what it is.

Usually, it's just AF Cargo flying to Mexico City.

Boring !!!

As it stands, I love the following:

www.flightaware.net (can track planes coming to and from any airport...I love KJFK !!

and more.

My office in Cheadle is directly under the flight path of the Planes landing in Manchester. This is regularly open on my other screen, mostly to see when the A380 is coming in.

The 3D cockpit view is insane.

When it comes to commercial airplanes...guilty as charged.

Back in the day, I used to go out to the end of the runway at IAH and take pics. Got to do that at LAX and JFK too. Got a few pics of the Concorde at JFK.

Also like listening to them on Live ATC on the web.

Never tried to take my own pictures, but am mesmerized by a large bird (US version) flying overhead. We have a Piaggio that sometimes flies into the local airport and it makes the sexiest sound I think I've ever heard a machine create, except for those few WWII birds that sound like they're making love to the air.
