Flights overhead at this moment

Sometime ago RogerS posted a link that displayed ship movements, this link displays commercial flights overhead.

You can drag the map over the world and double clicking brings up a flight arrival/destination schedule of the city clicked.

Warning....this site is addictive! Also not all aircraft carry the transponders that supply the data.

It is fascinating to watch all the aircraft lining up to land at Heathrow...especially first thing in the morning. Really brings it home just how busy that airport is.

Roger is there a way to enlarge so you can single out an aircraft in the bunch?

I have a Logitech roller mouse and the roller zooms in...moving the mouse lets you pan across the map...just like you'd do in Google Maps

My hp mouse roller did the same thanks.

If you type the flight number it speeds up real time to X12 and they move much faster and they land before you know it. (hammer)

Can you supply the antidote to this program as well please Roger?
