Listen to My Take Off from Seattle on Continental Flight 234
I blogged about the Seattle Airport, I then blogged that I landed but I totally forgot to blog about my take off.
Gary Price is not only a smart librarian, a search industry expert and great guy - he also is a flight tracker geek. We were chatting the other day and he was telling me how he was able to listen live to traffic control of my flight taking off. Nuts, right? It's true.
You can listen to it also with this player or by downloading the MP3 file.

Pretty cool, you can hear the pilot talk about CO234 and get runway assignments twice.
You can also see my exact flight path and details at FlightAware.com. The flight path was SEA J90 MWH J90 ABR J70 GEP DLL J34 CRL J584 SLT FQM1 (yea, I know, doesn't make sense, good thing for maps).
The FlightAware web site is nuts. You can see I jumped on a connecting flight from Ted Stevens Anchorage Int'l airport and then we all resumed our flight to EWR. Want to see my minute by minute track record of the flight? No? To bad, go here and you can see we started our decline at 05:40AM from 35,000 feet and by 06:10AM we were at 600 feet. Registered members can get even more information. Whoo hoo.
Want more real time databases? Gary has a huge comprehensive list in his real time information archive.
