About a month ago while checking the movements of PAC750XL's out of Cairns, I discovered that most of PNG is now covered by Flight Aware.
Prior to then I had found that south of Christmas Island (Pacific Ocean) to New Caledonia was not covered and to the east of Lord Howe Island was not covered, although some flights in the Auckland Province could be seen.
Good news for this week, is that I have found all of New Zealand is covered, even out to the Chathams. This may have been going a few months but I dont think any members have reported it. (So I now know what the "odd sound" is flying north at 2300, it's the Air Post F27).
Flight Aware can be a bit of a nightmare, moving the mouse across the map as more and more movements slow the PC down, so I've added "my" airports of interests into my favourites. I can check arrivals and departures and then enlarge the map and see what's flying over.
I'm sorry to report that no agricultural aircraft show up over New Zealand, but Air Tractors do on export ferry flights from Olney (KONY), Texas.
