Yeah, they state that is about 30% short of all aircraft as only aircraft with a certain tracking unit fitted is shown (the details are on their site). Also clearly some military / combat type craft would be invisible too, although they reckon you can see some of them too. Like John C I was rather interested where all the flights were. Certainly Western EU and the USA were amazingly busy. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Thursday, 20 September 2012 2:56 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: But very cool... That airplane list may not be complete. The displayed info is only pulled from a few of the larger airport tracking sites. Standards and technology may not be the same on all continents hence it may not be on the list for those reasons as well. Jim PS Just noticed, looking at it again, that most flights, in the world are delayed. Which confirms my theory. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2012 8:09 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: But very cool...
