I am tracking Mr. W’s flight online. I get on the airline’s web page and go to Flight Status. After entering the flight number, it displayed that his flight took off 9 minutes ahead of schedule, and that its ETA (estimated time of arrival) is 10 minutes earlier than scheduled. I click on the ETA link and it gives me a real-time diagram/map of the flight route, and a plane drawing of where his flight currently is, with the status that he is currently going at a speed of 430 knots, with an altitude of 40,000 feet.

The internet is SO cool.
