Hey !

Mighty fine piece of website you are building.
Very nice!

One thing cought my attention.
You are using maps that can't be zoomed in to very much. And they are
also outdated.
EHAM for example has already a few years 3 runways 18-36 while on the
maps there are only 2.
I wonder if it ain't possible to use the Google earth maps? They are
more accurate, and they can be zoomed in much more. Or maybe it's
possible to make this as an add on for google earth?

Is it also possible to add some more info on the tags?
Like Dep, Arr, Flightplan, Speed, Alt, etc?

I don't know if all of this is a simple or a horrible job, so please
forgive my simplicity.

The zoom level is a limitation of Yahoo Maps. I am working on using a
different mapping implementation that will allow the user to switch
between Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, or Microsoft's Virtual Earth. I
think you will like it :)

I'll be making a blog post sometime this week that will outline the
new features of the next release. Make sure to check out the blog
