Flight StatsAfter the review last week of GMapsFlightTracker (GMFT), today I came across another Google Maps mashup for flight travel. Named Flight Tracker, it comes to us from FlightStats. This one is more in-depth than GMFT in that it provides info for any flight pair and detailed information on the arrival airport. Delays are shown as well. I always find it interesting to look at the on-time rates for any flight pair and wonder what it would be like if Web workers had that type of poor on-time project completion rates. Maybe we need this type of rating service for workers :)

The mashup works in a similar manner to the map offerings on-board. Starts with a zoomed-out view and slowly zooms in. You can also just sit back, click random and watch flights all over the U.S. Is this a better time-waster than say Justin.TV? Check out my video review of Flight Tracker:
