Biggles I was in New York in June, whilst taxying out BA A318 G-EUNA was also waiting to take off going back to London City. So they do long haul as well. Happy Days Bob  |

I believe the data displayed is actually transmitted from the aircraft so any inaccuracies are in that data at it's origin. All the virtual radar applications and sites are just a vehicle for displaying transmitted aircraft data (principally longitude, latitude and bearing) on a graphical map with URL links to things like operator, type, etc. Other additional information is purely displayed as per it's source.

Garry
