Has anyone seen this before :?:

Found it by accident and after watching for a while and running outside to watch the planes fly over thought it might come in handy

I've seen different versions of this (flightaware.com for example). Be aware that it only shows aircraft on IFR flight plans (a fraction of all flights and a tiny fraction of flights close to the ground) so don't expect to use it to keep your P2V out of my props.

I have had it a while now, kinda mind boggling how many planes are in the sky at any one time.

That's what got me when I seen it first time :shock: the air traffic control staff must be stressed

I've got no intentions of going up 35000ft just nice to know where the airline flight paths are

That data is 15 minutes old at the best. AFAIK, you don't have to file a plan for VFR trips. Best bet is to stay low and fly safely.

Well I tested it today and every time it said there was a flight passing over my house there was a plane in the sky going in the right direction?, I don't fly here anyways as I believe I'm too close to an airport (10 mile).

My partner thinks I'm going to turn into a plane spotter

In the US at least, flight plans are not required for VFR flight (I haven't filed a VFR flight plan since I was a student). Flights above 18,000 feet must be flown IFR, so you can usually bet that if it's a jet it'll be IFR.

You are not too close to an airport if you're at 10 miles !
