List of all aircraft in flight (with transponders on)

All Airborne Aircraft (by aircraft type) - FlightAware

Both ends of the list are interesting. Rare planes sometimes show up with 1 in flight.

BCP yes that is an interesting list - I thought there would have been more private jets, G550 etc but those go fast and land, and sit then do the same a few days later at the whim of the owner.

Saw this today. A NASA P3. The P3 used to be, and still is, though being replaced, a submarine hunter. Given the rain we had from Chantal, my guess is that the plane is looking at flood waters? But one would think it would flying more over the rivers. It is flying low too at 3,200-3,000 feet.

Central NC got 10-12 inches of rain on Sunday so there is localized flooding. The water will be flowing down east to the coast.

This one just showed up hugging the coastline and avoiding bad weather to the west. A Ukrainian An-12 that took off from Titusville, FLA, aka Cape Canaveral, and is heading to Portsmouth, NH. It's last flight was Leipzig to Turin. No record of how it got to Titusville but supposedly, it is flying back to Leipzig after Portsmouth.

The NASA P3 is back again doing more interesting patterns. I really think they are looking at the river water levels.
