sadie j 54 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 As they fly at approx 36000ft it is easy to track them by eye binoculars or camera with a big lens. And if you look at http://www.flightradar24.com/ you can find out what plane it is, where it is going and at what speed. i use an ipad's camera and they come out great so no fancy machine needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
