   Lumpy to All   
   Tracking Janets in Google Earth

   Maybe others are already aware   
   of how to do it, but I just   
   discovered how to do it -   
      
   First find the flight# from flightaware.   
      
   Open fboweb at (example)   
   http://www.fboweb.com/cob/google.asp?airline=swa&flightnum=2816#foo   
      
   Insert airline and flightnum as appropriate.   
   Creates a kmz file for viewing in google earth.   
   Updates every ? minutes.   
      
   Are the www flight numbers for the janets   
   the same every day? If so you could create   
   permanant kmz files for each flight and   
   save them in google earth. View the   
   janet status any time you like.
