Hi,Do you know a site with a very good flight tracker, providing altitude, speed, heading, destination....of any real world flight?I am also in search of one giving the actual position of the plane and using a good and precise map. Greetings Minos

This is the absolute best flight tracker although they have cut back on some features since 9/11: http://www.flightexplorer.com/Products/Personal_Edition.asp

what have they cut back on???

[Guest WorkingStiff]

Tail numbers, for example. Since 9/11 Flight Explorer no longer show tail numbers for security reasons.

I wish Flight Explorer would show you the filed IFR route too... Apparently that was another 9/11 casualty.

Yep, after 9/11 the FAA restricted the data they could show so now they have two separate products; Personal and Professional. You can still get the filed flight plans with the Professional version but it's not available in the Personal Edition.
