Using Flight Tracker to Follow Anthony Home

It was an early alarm for Anthony.  Up at 5 AM to be able to get to the airport ahead of the crowds for his 7:45 AM flight.

Back at the house, we located his flight on the web and waited for confirmation that United #316 was in the air. 

And, using this technology, we could pinpoint when he was going to be flying across the backyard.  It worked.

The dotted line is the planned flight path.  Anthony would fly out towards the ocean and turn left to cross over Dana Point.

Moments before take off, we could see when he pushed back to taxi.

Anthony's flight is in the air and just passed over Newport Beach.

Here's his plane passing across the backyard.



The flight tracker shows his plane's location once it passed the house.

A few minutes later he was at 17,100 feet on his way to a cruising altitude of 39,000.   See you in a few weeks Anthony.
