Amazing Technology

Dave Mikkelson submitted this fascinating piece of technology. 

It is a web site that provides a map (you can select where you want the map centered), upon which all the flights currently in the airspace over that map are depicted as little airplane icons. 

You can click on any one of those little airplanes and get all sorts of details on the flight, such as where it originated, where it's headed, how fast it is going, how high it is, etc.
