What happen to the Sprinter FlyingVan?

Neat but dangerous, lol

I would hope there are enough time delay protections, or fully accurate information given to make it useless. Definitely would be scary information in the wrong hands

Flew to the other side of the rainbow?

At least he's in the USA NOW.

Oh, thank you. Came over about 2 months ago. As for the Sprinter, it is parked at the house. I get to drive it once in a while to go to the dump, or something similar. It has become my new pickup truck.

All the information a well-informed terrorist needs for a shoulder-fired FIM-92 Stinger.

In the beginning the info for the flights here in the US was delayed by 5 min. But later on that went away. The info coming down from the planes' transponders is not encrypted in any way, so anybody can have access to it with a small receiver. To be honest, if a terrorist wants to blow up a plane, they can do it without flightradar24.com.

Flightradar24 began in 2006 and planes haven't been blown up with the help of this page. There are other pages just like it like flightaware, etc. Can the terrorists also use it?As anybody can use it, so can the terrorists. Just like they also use the telephone or internet network. Flightradar24 blocks some flight information from display though for security and privacy purposes. It mostly involves the flights of the royal families or heads of states.

I know. My comment was a joke.

All they have to do is go park next to an airport, open the side doors of the van, aim, fire and drive away. They could do that at O'Hare without even aiming.

It's probably not as dangerous as you think. By the time the information gets to your phone I'm sure it's in a different location. Its traveling a few hundred mph. Besides, I've always been able to look up and see where a few of them are.

Eddie is waiting for your sons safe arrival and we're having a conversation about planes getting shot down. Sorry Eddie!

Good Tuesday morning to everyone. Going to be a hot muggy day in Detroit today.

He didn't get shot down, made it home safely. Jet lag is a understatement. Lol

Yeah that's a tough one coming that way much easier going over

I noticed that when I fly eastbound jet lag is much harder then when I fly westbound.
