Flights in the sky overhead
https://www.flightradar24.com/
It can zoom the map that is displayed and move by clicking on the arrows to bring up a region and a city. We then see all the planes passing overhead.
The map is updated automatically every 10 seconds.
If you click on a plane you see its way and on the left side of the screen, photograph, airports of departure and arrival, his company, speed, altitude, etc …
And if one looks up looking to the sky (if there are no clouds) we see that airplane go in reality!
if you want your own movement (available on your MAC), download the application
