Flight simulation of live flights... very cool

























My dear friend, AR, sent me the link to this; one of the coolest things I've seen in some time. Not to get technical, but in a nutshell - Flight Radar 24 provides a visual flight simulation by overlaying the aircraft's position over Google Earth maps.

Flight Radar 24 receives co-ordinates from aircrafts equipped with the ADS-B transponder, feed this into Google Earth to provide the simulation (as seen above).

I went to look at a few flights landing and taking-off from Hong Kong's Airport; known to be one of the most challenging runways to navigate.
