As we continue to build our collection of real-time or near real-time data resources on the Internet, we’re adding another service that offers near real-time tracking of aircraft either arriving or departing U.S. airspace.

Flight Explorer is the latest addition to our collection.
++ Current Flight Status Information
++ Advanced Flight Search Interface
++ Track Flights
++ Airport Status

++ You can also view flights in 3D using SkylineGlobe (Free).
SkyLineGlobe also offers a feature to embed live traffic cameras on top of the aerial imagery.

++ fboweb
Data and 3D tracking via Google Earth.

We have also posted many times about:

+ FlightAware

+ FlightStats, and FlightStats Mobile.

Like many databases, reference books, etc. each service has its strengths and weaknesses. That’s why knowing about several tools is useful — especially when there is no charge to use any of them.
