I have an app on my phone with that information. www.flightracker.com I can sit out on the back deck and see many planes going to and from Europe and the Orient as there is a radio beacon in our town for the flight path. At work 24 miles away, we eat lunch at my conference room table and can see them out the window. Mostly incoming from Europe around noon. |

I think I can waste entire days just watching the planes move on the screen . I find private planes to be most fascinating to watch - they move slowly and not that easy to lose track of. -- /\_/\ ((@v@)) NIGHT ()::) OWL VV-VV |

Looks like if you shot an arrow into the air you'd hit a plane. |

We are 25 miles from both O'Hare and Midway in Chicago and there is almost always some noise in the air. But that afternoon after all flights were grounded, it was like we were in another world. |

And yes, the air traffic around major cities like New York is real dense. -- Steven L. |

The planes are at altitude when they fly over but I missed the reflections of the planes and contrails in the evenings. I don't remember if the ag spray planes were grounded also. They don't fly much that time of year anyhow. |

Greg http://www.flightradar24.com/how-it-works Seems that GA traffic on a flight plan shows up, but probably not otherwise. I didn't see anything in the FAQs about alien craft. |
