Flight tracking in 3D - FBOweb.com

This website allows tracking of flights to major US airports in 3D using Google earth. Its quite a nice little tool for bored people!
I haven't stayed on long enough to find a VS plane as yet but I am sure someone will be able to!
Scratch that! If you list all flights (by looking at the hourly snapshot) and then scroll down in Google Earth you will find all VS flights prefixed VIR and can then have a look where they are, altitude, speed etc. Note that the airports are 4 letter ICAO rather than 3 letters. This would be great to catch one whilst landing and look at the 3D view [8D]
