Oddly enough, FlightAware shows the flight as arrived.

Couple of things based on my experience on following my own flights with
flightaware.

If you cancel IFR in the air, the website reports you arrived at the time
of the cancellation and the green tracking line terminates.

If you drop below radar coverage on your approach, then flightaware will
show you arrived. This happened to me, when I arrived at a non radar
towered airport. The green tracking line dropped where center turned me
over to the tower which was still 5 miles from the runway threshold.

Those that have not seen this site, really need to check it out. I was
amazed at the speed of updates. I filed IFR and hung up the phone and in
less then two minutes, my flight showed up on the website as a scheduled
departure. When you register for free, the website refreshes every minute
with your altitude and ground speed, and the graphic updates accordingly.

For those interested in following this poster, I am flying Saturday from
KMBO to KBWG to 2G2 on Saturday. You can follow along at

tomorrow with an anticipated departure time of 7:30 or 8:00 a.m. Saturday
morning
