Flight Tracker

By now, everyone will have lost the Flight Tracker links I'm sure, so here they are again due to popular demand :

Brisbane arrivals :

Singapore tracker :

They work by following the plane beacon that every commercial plane is obliged to have on board and which transmits data every so many seconds. This data is then plotted on google maps ( or microsoft Live maps ) and results in an actual location plot of the plane. Good luck tracking us :)
