I use: http://www.flightradar24.com/

I just noticed it has some helicopter flights from Aberdeen to the rigs in the North Sea - very cool!

Wolfram Alpha says there are no flights over London. I think I'll stick to http://www.flightradar24.com/ for now.

I could get any flights from wolframalpha in aberdeen. That is much cooler.

What happened to the Nasa applet that gave you a complete 3D view of all the satellites in orbit? It was awesome - I went looking for it the other day and it seems to have disappeared.

That's cool. You can drill down into information on each satellite and see it's flight path. Funky.

Does this work for anybody in the UK? I'm using FF and always get 0 results (even though I can see planes above me).

Send this to anyone who thinks the planes overhead are spraying chemtrails.
