Anyone have any Aviation Web Cams that would be good to watch online?

I was looking at this one from the First Flight Airport today, and I am kind of shocked that on a July 4th weekend (Saturday at 1600 Zulu) there are NO PLANES on the ramp. Makes me wonder if this really is "LIVE".
 
Check out the Wa State airport cams and Johnson Creek in ID, some in BC too.
 
There's all kinds from live to multi second updates of stills....

A few years ago, I landed at First Flight and spent parts of three days there, and I saw no other planes. On other occasions I have driven in and not seen planes tied down. Don't know why.

We were the only ones too, except a biplane doing flight seeing. It's kind of off on its own, perfect place for aviation reflection.

I don't know about entertainment value, but they exist. Williamson Flying Club (KSDC) -- http://www.williamsonflyingclub.com/content/webcam/KSDCLiveCam.html . GACE Flying club's (KISP) -- http://www.gaceflyingclub.com/WinCam/wincam.html -- is member's only, which reinforces what I understand to the be a very typical use of such things (Is the plane on the ramp so I can reserve it and go flying? Is it back from its previous flight before I leave for the airport? Did I forget a tie down or gust lock?).

I was under the impression that KFFA was near the Wright Bros. monument, but little else; and that the airport itself offered few creature comforts. A worthy spot for pilgrimage, though less so for tourism.
 
The ones that are really useful give you an idea of what the weather looks like when no other reporting is available.
