Question:

It’s 3:00 A.M. and every few minutes a plane goes by my house on air route M-750 here in Taiwan. Let’s say I am curious for more info on those planes than just looking at them in binoculars. Well, I won’t hear them on the radio, as their reporting points are far away at the FIR boundaries. Is there some net site that has their daily list? Or does one just do their best by say looking at lists of arrivals and departures for planes that might be using that route (or the parallel A-1 route, sigh)?  Note that at night they are passing thru, not originating locally. — http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780

A standard PC soundcard is used… Maybe you can add onto that. — http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780

Me either, as that site just loops in the Mozilla browser. Well, I suppose I’ll have to find out the planes’ flight levels the hard way http://jidanni.org/comm/air/m750/north_pass_en.html using the stars. — http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
