I had a read of Eastabrook’s blog recently (see a link in the Blogroll) and noticed that he posted about an interesting link that he found. The link, entitled Flight Tracking in 3D, shows details of a few downloads that you can grab for Google Earth which actually show the current locations of flights that are currently in progress all over the world!!!

Unbelievable. Pretty amazing technology, and at the same time quite scary. What kind of possible security issues does this feature open up? I know that Google Earth has had these kinds of questions asked in the past, but this to me seems like it’s taking the issue to a whole new level.
