I tried flightradar24 today.  I found it extremely slow and it would stop
(hang) for a minute or more move for a few seconds and hang again.  It may
have been the network I was on at work.  Works better at home on my Comcast
Internet hookup (not a commercial for Comcast).

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.

Picked a random track (A320) over WV and watched it till it landed at
Washington National. Last time I did that was in the early 1970s and
it only took 58,000 vacuum tubes to take the data from the phone
lines and display it. Now it takes several billion transistors to do
the same task. Is this progress?
