VFR Flight on FlightAware

[HPNPilot1200]

No clue how or why, but my VFR flight this afternoon to Flying W (N14) displayed most of the route on FlightAware. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N1323X/history/20080330/2104Z/KHPN/N14

Every controller or two asked for my destination again, so I doubt the flight plan made it to the ZNY host computer. Regardless, it still picked it up. Cool stuff.

sometimes it happens most of the time it doesnt. one of my students got flight following back from Omaha a month ago and it showed up. I took a couple IFR flights this morning and no radar track showed up at all. It seems that for some reason or another Des Moines radar is just a big hole on flight aware.

I was hoping it would pick up my flying in circles during traffic watch before the NASCAR race in Atlanta. It didn't.

LOL....it seems my flight to Jekyll with FF shows up!

However I did NOT depart from Cochran, and it is NOT a C172.

Oh well...at least I can fly straight (well the A/P can).

So, this is a bit odd.

FlightAware has my VFR Flight. Neither MFD Approach nor CLE Approach could pick up my transponder beacon, but there's a track displayed on FlightAware.

72.5 nm straight line between the two airports, divided by a flight time of 32 minutes gives an average speed of 145knots. Not bad for a 172.

(Yeah, I know the FlightAware flight time is not accurate)

It just means the FBI is watching you, Jason... keep an eye out for black helicopters, my friend. You're tagged in the ATC computer. Blue pill, or red pill?
