Channel 9
On the way back from Orlando on a United Airlines flight, I tuned to Channel 9 and listened to the conversations between pilots and Air Traffic Control (ATC) all the way back home. It’s amazing how much you can learn about flying by just listening to this chatter. After a while, your mind starts building a three dimensional picture of the sky, and you get a very good idea of what’s going on with the flight you’re on. I wonder why other airlines are not offering a similar service. That being said, a couple of years ago Microsoft named one of its community websites (channel9.msdn.com) after United’s channel.
