Can't even see my country for the planes!

Don't look at the picture here, use the link. You can put in your country (look at the upper right for the place), and/or use the buttons to zoom all the way down to see interstate routes and cities. You can select a given airplane and it will tell you the airspeed and altitude of that flight in real time, along the left. If someone is on a flight to visit you, you can follow their flight as if you were an air traffic controller.

Thanks for the explanation Ruth! I found the planes about to land on Rotterdam Airport on the map and within minutes I see them from my window!
