Videos from the world’s most popular flight tracking service—avgeek videos, airline operations, tutorials, and more! Flightradar24 is a global flight tracking service that provides you with real-time information about thousands of aircraft around the world. Flightradar24 combines data from several data sources including ADS-B, MLAT and radar data. Our service is available online and for your iOS or Android device. Flightradar24 was started as a hobby project in 2006 when two Swedish aviation geeks decided to build a network of ADS-B receivers in Northern and Central Europe. In 2009 we opened up the network, and made it possible for anyone with an ADS-B receiver to upload data to the network. Many parts of the world were quickly covered, but the quest to provide global ADS-B coverage is still ongoing.

Video Description
Join us as we get the grand tour of Wolf's Fang Runway (WFR/AT98) in Antarctica – looking at what it takes to keep this blue ice runway and surrounding airfield and ice camp operational. We get inside the PistenBully and groom the ice runway, we go inside the comms box to see how they receive and relay weather and other critical info between aircraft and ground crew, and we see what it's like when the incoming jet has to divert back to Cape Town ("boomerang") due to high winds. Finally, greet the inbound A340 when it tries again the following day. If you ever wondered what goes into operating an ice airport in Antarctica, you've come to the right place. This is video #4 in the Antarctica series. Don't miss the first three videos!
