is fascinating. It shows every commercial plane in flight around the world, and international airports. You can examine countries up close or jump to particular continents. I had no idea so few flights were crossing the oceans. Many places looked quite isolated from commercial flights. I assume small planes aren't included. Don't know about small commuter planes, but there are so few planes showing I assume they're not included.

Can't even see my country for the planes!

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!
