SEATAC 400 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'm sure some of you have an iPad, iPhone or some similiar device. For those of you that do, I thought you may be interested in a great app that I found. It's called PlaneFinderHD. Fantastic realtime tracking of planes just about anywhere. I installed it yesterday and have not been able to put it down. Click on a plane and you get the airline, type, flight number, route, speed, altitude, etc. You can follow a plane on it's entire flight if you want. Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites

MarkJones 0 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'm typing this on one now. Will have to check that app out. I use my iPad for FS, handy to have the sectional charts on your lap courtesy of skyvector.com Link to post Share on other sites

I use my iPad for FS, handy to have the sectional charts on your lap courtesy of skyvector.com That's a great idea. I'll have to do the same. Thanks for the heads up Mark. BTW, planefinder is realtime. I called up a friend who lives near the end of the Philly runway (I am in Florida) and I told him what flights were arriving and he verified them at the same time. When I told him it was crossing the end of the runway he saw it. Link to post Share on other sites
