It's actually very cool.



It updates route changes very well, and keeps a pretty accurate history. I've used it to track friends/families flights

They also make an iPhone app too so you can track flights from wherever you are.

I need to look for some of my old FLOPS in-flight reroutes.

I imagine that's either a company demo or a engineering/maintenance shakedown flight.

And still makes more sense than some of the flight plans people file.

I don think that one is, but sometimes the real crazy flightplans can be the FAA out checking airways and approaches.

Those ones make sense.  If you know the approach plates/ STARs/SIDs you'll pick it up on it quickly.





Some people just file dumb flight plans

I always used to get wierd questions from ATC regarding my Flight Plans until I included "IFR Training Flight" in the remarks...

I love tracking a ferry flight to Europe and then have Flightaware "lose track" of the plane.




Like this one.

NASA flights do wierd shit like that, for hours. They also typically do this right where you least want them to.
