Welcome to the ACARS World!

Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System
today around 2pm, there was a customer (old man) walk in and ask me to help to download some stuff on the net, while opening it i was shocked and really scare of that website.
Air-Craft tracking
while i downloading, i ask him many times.. IS IT FOR GAME OR WAT?... he said his son want him to download it for him. he also mention that for tracking and viewing the air-crafts.
To me This is like an illgal stuff, so i just say sorry we cant download it and he went out. It doesn't look like a game to me, and it doesn't look realistic to me either. what is it? is it for those *terrerist* or what?

hmm
PS: i am not sure wheather this thread/topic is illegal to this website! i only just want to share some info and some idea
thank

Some people just like planes etc...

There are those "plane spotter" people who sit at the airport all day writing down airplane numbers etc

I wouldn't be worried... looks quite interesting actually!

Yeah, plane spotters exist. It's not as safe as train spotting though. Railway lines go everywhere and even overseas it's easy to access. We had a guy working for us who was a plane spotter and on several occasions the military from a couple of countries held him at gun point, confiscated equipment or recovered film.

Sounds like fun.

Some of the pics are interesting, pulling the wrong lever...

Hahaha... oops.

there's sumfin about this on java's homepage! lol

^^ 4 real!!???

i doubt it....... would you be anywhere near a 747 if it was that low?

Nope that pic and similar ones like it are all real. There's a place somewhere (can't remember but i think it's southern Europe) where the beach ends the runway starts.
Have a look at the people, they're all looking at the 747, hard to fake a pic like that.

Definately real. It's St. Marteen. There's a Powerpoint file doing the rounds through email. I have it here. Some good photos in there.

Hmmm.... this is fun

wtf happened there!??

i'm guessing there are no passangers(sp)

Crapped itself on landing

Actually, it's not a real photo.

yeah, that beach looks pretty calm considering there are 4 jet engines sitting 10 or so metres above it. i would have thought water spraying everywhere and sand all over the place would be more accurate

Nah, the beach photo is a real photo, the accident above is a fake photo.

it looks to me like the landing gear in the beach shot hasnt come right down. could be a photo edit.

nah, the landing gear in the beach pic is fully down

Isnt that airport near the beach ibitza? (i have no idea where St. Marteens is - maybe its the same place) I remember on all those shows about the joint they saiud something about the airport been on the other side of the beach.
