Neat Website flightradar24.com

I tried flightradar24 in the past, but found it buggy, and decided to stay
with the dumbed down Flightaware till they sort their bugs out.

For example, right now,.... EGF4436 (American Eagle), is currently shown
parked in the parking lot of the Pentagon City Mall.

I also spotted ASQ5935 doing strange things. Parked on Rt50 near Rt28. (245
ft asl, 0kts), and now.... it is hovering over Leesburg (a wonderful feat
for a commercial jet).

Flightaware shows it heading SW, overflying Mt Weather and on its way
towards I-81.
