This is very cool. One thing though. You need to change the 24 loop movie
for a period other than Sunday Monday. Your missing out on the great FedEx
migration at MEM.

For IFR folks, you can enter airports that you're flying between and
get a list of IFR routes that people have flown, which makes flight
planning a lot easier.

Let me pile on and say this site rules!!

It is so damn cool we crashed it.

FlightAware is currently unavailable. Please try back later. (DB1)

Yes, I noticed that. It is in beta, hopefully when it goes production
it will have more bulletproof servers.

Disregard this as I just realized the cause: The missing flights are
actually under a different (legitimate) callsign.

NGF?

Guessing this site is for one country only? (USA)
I get:-
"This airport is outside of FlightAware's service area and will only show data
on flights to/from FlightAware's service area and be generally unreliable"
for my local internation airport.

Maybe because aircraft below 18,000 almost never get to talk to center
or approach?

I don't believe its possible NOT to talk to center in Mexico.

Wow, cool. It says all the data is publicly available. Any idea where
the site pulls the data from?
