Aircraft radar site

I'm not sure if anyone has put a link to this site before. If you are interested in following aircraft, it's pretty good.

that is really cool! but i question it only because I live in the flight path of Oakland International and planes fly over every 10mins and i didn't see but one plane in the area (including the san francisco airport which isn't but 20 miles away)...

Another good one is Planefinder.net. They use the signals from the aircraft's ADS-B transmitter so only aircraft with ADS-B will show up. This includes most jets. The only common one I have not seen is the B767. The only turboprops I have seen are the Rex Saab 340's and RFDS PC12's and BE20's.

Yes, the ADS-B is used on Flight radar. In the 'About' section of the site it has a list of planes that can and can't be seen.

For around Sydney there's also this one (delayed about 20min) also able to replay from a set time.

WebTrak: Sydney (http://webtrak.bksv.com/syd)

Used it a couple of times to track choppers around the area.

Webtrack will show everthing that civilian surveillance systems "see" but it is delayed, as Bushie mentioned. (Radar, ADS-B and C) Also interesting to note you can click on an aeroplane track and make a noise complaint!

There are a few of these ADS-B sites. This one has a nice layout. Thanks for the linky.

You can even buy your own ADS-B reciever and hook it up to your laptop. Now that's real planespotter stuff!

Thanks for the great site!
This will keep my boys (8 & 5yrs) amused for hours.
It goes nicely with another similar site for ships Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic and Positions (http://www.marinetraffic.com) , which uses the same transponder technology to track in real time.

Cheers,
