Are We Living In the 21st Century or What?

My wife is flying back home right now, and I’ve got to pick her up from the airport.

In one window, I’ve got a display of the plane’s flight track from FlightAware. In another window, I’m running a Google Earth satellite image with her plane’s current position superimposed, thanks to fboweb.com. In yet another window, I’m running streaming audio of the airport tower courtesy of LiveATC.net.

They cleared her plane to land a few minutes ago, and it just dropped below 5000 feet. Time to get in the car and drive out to the airport.
