FlightView
My dad is coming to visit for Thanksgiving…as a matter of fact, his plane lands in about 25 minutes. I just now discovered a really cool web application…FlightView. Continental Airlines uses it. Basically, it will show you the location of the plane in pretty much real-time. Continental’s site even shows the estimated arrival time, etc…all updated to the minute: Check Flight Status and Gate Information. FlightView’s website shows everything from current elevation to ground speed to estimated time to arrival. Check it out at flightview.com.

Thanks…I just discovered this today when trying to track flights on continental.com. Very nice web application by FlightView. I always wondered if there was something like this out there…and now I know.
