FlightWait.com is a new Google Maps mashup from the folks at Poly9.com of Quebec City, Canada. It's a useful maps app that displays real-time flight conditions for U.S. airports using FAA data. It works by entering a zip code, city name, or airport code (LGA) which then displays colour coded lines representing flight paths from that airport. Four possible color coded lines appear noting time duration of delays: 0-15 minutes, 16-59 minutes, 1-2 hours or > 2 hours. Click the "Show all airport delays" for some real fun! After you've seen the airports that show delays longer than 2 hours, head over to another Google Maps mashup, WeatherBonk.com, to find out why these delays are taking place! :)

Three other databases are excellent for real time flight info and airport conditions.
1) FlightStats.com (both airport and flight info). Uses Google Maps
New Facebook tool. Mobile site also.
2) FlightAware.com
Excellent for seeing all planes in the air by type, fleet, etc. Private planes too!
3) FlightExlporer.com
Airport info as well as flight tracking. Good maps with layers (such as turbulence) not seen elsewhere. Also, ability to track any flight with one click using the SkylineGlobe.com digital globe (Free).
All of this is posted on our ResourceShelf.com site.
We are also web-based data tools.
