Re: Live flight tracking

Since a few days Casper doesn't show historical data more than two hours old anymore, unless you register and pay a membership fee.

Re: Anyone been to this museum?

I have visited both of them and they are great.
The plane collection is very good, bur there's more : vintage cars, sports cars, steam locs, submarines, etc...
Everything is excellently displayed, the museum grounds are clean, prices are reasonable... Go there, you won't regret it.
