Do any of these sites let you track military fighter jets??

I live by a naval air station and have watched them fly my whole life and always wanted to ‘track’ them

flightradar24 is better


I like this as well. I used to look at it all the time. It's sometimes fun spotting a plane in the sky and you can just look at your phone and know exactly what kind it is and where it's going...

Use PlaneFinder.
I'm definitely checking this out. We're out in the sticks in LP, nowhere near an airport except for maybe one of Barry Seals' old landing strips, depending on who you ask.

Anyway, we get a lot of through traffic heading ENE/WSW. I've always assumed it was a Houston/Atlanta route, but now I'll get to find out for sure.

Anyone know if this app (or anything else) works for helicopters?

That's what I do too. The ships floating all around the world at any given time boggle my wee brain.

I don’t like flying so I pull that up for a few days before whatever trip. It calms me down a lot seeing the sheer volume of air traffic that all makes it where it’s going.

I've been off the coast since '07. Not sure who's at GPT.

I would give my callsign and y'all could look for me tomorrow, but I'd probably get in trouble for OPSEC.

Thought of another good website for flying. I'll look at the Jetstream forecast before flights to see if they're going to be quick or long

My son is an airline pilot, so I check out FlightAware all the time….then when he arrives or departs I listen to LiveATC.net so I can hear him on the radio.
Proud dad….

I flew with them a 05-06 time frame.

Their call sign is "Teal," I flew a bunch with the TAC unit in Biloxi too, "Hobby" is their callsign.

Love all of the flight tracking sites.

Also love airportwebcams.net. My favorite is Zurich because you can take control of any runway cam and watch different planes. Pretty amazing.
