Adventures of Link: Flight Tracking 101

The overlords of the Internet at Google have upgraded the search engine's flight tracking powers. Before the new search feature debuted, you'd only get a list of links to track your flight, some of which didn't always work. Now Google's integrating FlightStats' data directly into a search results page. (This has the added benefit of making the service more BlackBerry friendly.)
You can also get the same info by texting GOOGLE (466453) your airline and flight number. If we're near a computer, though, we like digging up all sorts of flight info from these more propeller-head oriented sites:

FlightAware Tracks Flights in Real-Time
January 13, 2006 at 10:01 AM | 0 Comments
FlightAware tracks flights in the US that the FAA includes in general aviation. That means not only can you track commercial flights, but you can also track private planes.
You can track by flight identification, airport code, or commercial flight number.
Furthermore, private pilots may request that their aircraft's data be barred from public viewing by filling out a Block Aircraft Registration Request.
