Do you wonder who is flying overhead?

Where's the plane is that you have to meet at the airport has it left IST MAN or LHR

This site offers real time flight info showing where they are on the map and the flight number

When our family went to Florida last year I tracked them all the way and every hour did a print out of where they were up to, I gave the print outs to the grandchildren when they returned and they have them in an album with all the photos they took.

Have seen 2 flights come over this morning but they are not showing up on the 'radar' Larnaca and Paphos flights are OK.

Any ideas why not Ercan?

It doesn't show the flights into Ercan and the Ercan bound flights from Istanbul drop off when they are halfway to Ercan

I found it useful last weekend when collecting people who were coming from Ataturk

Some might say its all greek to me ) ) )

Hi wanderer,

It seems that once they drop below a certain height,

they disappear from the screen.

Looks like you are right Navek.

Just followed one for Larnaca and it disappeared at 1700 ft. Around 500m.Still think that is a bit low to explain msg 13.

Also reckon the planes coming into Ercan are higher than that.
