 From Bob W2PN:

Flight tracking to check out what’s overhead.

Have you ever wondered where that plane flying overhead is going and 
what type of aircraft? Every day you see planes in the sky, sometimes 
very high, with or without contrails. We often ask ourselves these 
questions:  What type of plane, Airbus A320, 330, Boeing 727, 747 or 
some other manufacturer. Where did it come from, where is it going, what 
altitude, what speed, what airline, etc.

Well, now you can see all this information instantly on your laptop 
screen. I just watched the plane whose vapor trail I could see overhead, 
on my laptop, and was blown away by all the information and also the 
view.  You are also going to be totally blown away when you see how many 
aircraft are flying in your area. I can now see why an air traffic 
controller is one very, very busy person.

Here is a note to help you get more out of your visit to this site. 
These are all the aircraft in the air right now. In the left hand 
column, there is a box called "planes". The number in the box is the 
number of aircraft airborne. This view is what the various airport air 
traffic management people see for planning purposes.

Some additional tricks:

Drag the map to take you to the area you want to view.

To view your region or town, you can zoom in by tapping with your Mouse.

On the map you will see all the planes in the air. When you click on a 
airplane, on the left screen you will get all the information related to 
airline, plane type, air speed, altitude in real time that is 
re-calculated every 10 seconds. On some you can also click on view from 
the cockpit.
