Cool site!

I have absolutely no use for it but it has already gone into my favorites bar.

The fact that plane finder currently reports FDXt 75 which is currently west of Cairns as being on a flight from Honolulu to Auckland doesn't entirely give one confidence in it's data collection.

It wasn't. It was going to Guangzhou from Sydney, it had previously gone Hon-Akl and Akl-Syd, but that site still thought it was doing Hon-Akl for whatever reason.

If ya have a radio, listen on 140.6125mHz and you'll soon figure out what they are up to.
