Neat site for aviation buffs.

I find it curious that they don't show military aircraft...
I've noticed in my occasional look sees today that some of the aircraft i.d.'s show up as "blocked".
Walt, there's a thing called BARR: "Block Aircraft Registration Request". It basically puts a three-day hold on that flight's data being public record--you can see it moving, but you can't get the numbers or who's on it until three days after landing.
Well, that's something I didn't know.

That's one of the reasons I hang out here.
Here's an iPhone app that will let you point the phone at at aircraft in the sky overhead and then return the identification info.

Nice.

What kid hasn't laid on his back and looked up at those high flyers, wondering where they were headed...
