Airplane track map

You can easily find both ship and airplane track services on internet. Since these are sometimes made available in KML format, they can be added to a map. For the map below I added the locations and tracks of airplanes approaching Los Angeles Airport (LAX). You can click on the airplanes to get flight information, elevation and speed. Check altitude and speed near the airport and further away. There is a delay of 15 minutes between the real position of the plane and the position on the map. Beware the airplane symbol on the map does not indicate the flight direction! If you would like to view a real airplane tracking application based on the Esri Flash viewer, check out the Heathrow aiport WebTrak application which also gives you information on noise.
