Is anyone else obsessed with - Page 2

I've used both of them. I tend to like Trackaflight better but probably just because that's the one I used first.

I haven't checked it in a while, but I used to a lot. Until I saw him dissappear from the screen when he was flying in really bad weather. I didn't know at the time that that sometimes happens. Its scared the crap outta me! LOL!

This might be a dumb question, but is there anything I can use to track an international flight? I was trying to track Nick's Madrid flight on Flightaware but it stopped tracking when he was over the Atlantic Ocean. If there is a way I can the entire flight, let me know!

I like FlightAware a lot myself. Most of the time pretty accurate.

I live so close to the airport that if he has a flight where I have to pick him up, I just check FlightAware periodically and when its landed I head out. Works great for me.

right, works great for domestic flights... but you cannot use Flightaware if it is an international flight...

Dunno, DH's airline has a separate tracker so we can see all flights. I only care to look at them when he's coming home and I can figure what train he'll be on so I know whether or not to have to pick him up (we live by a train station--but not all the trains from the airport go to our stop).

There's no radar 1/4-1/2 way over the pond, so nothing can track the full length of an ER flight. I haven't been able to find anything either.

That's what I thought. If you find something let me know!

I'm afraid in antiquated ole' Europe (lol!) I just use the airport's arrivals and departure boards, so that I can find out whether he's on time or not, and so (in the early days) I could mutter a prayer at landing time!

But if anyone does find anything for Europe, do let me know! I'd love another outlet for my obsessive nature....

Eric has one of those radio things so at a certain time if I know he is ggowing over us at 37 or whatever, I can grab a handle and chat for a min or 2. I love it, but more than anything the boys love seeing the plane go by on a clear day and they can say hi to their daddy flying!
