WOW, those pilots wanted to get down fast! They were descending at 3,000ft/min for a good 6 minutes there… That’s STEEP
Chris how can you tell how fast they got down??
Ahh, i checked the flightaware data for the flight. If you look at the data between 4:29pm and 4:35pm you’ll see under “rate” it gives the ft/min altitude rate. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/ASH3752/history/20120527/2004Z/KOKC/KTUL/tracklog
Oh man…that’s cool!! Thanks for that. :)
Flightaware is an awesome site! I have a bunch of sites used to track/find info about planes.
To see every type of plane flying at any given time, see here. Note that not “all” planes are included, such as military and those in some foreign countries. To the left of the page, you can search for flight #’s, flights out of certain airports, and by tail numbers (but not all tail numbers are searchable. But i know all Delta planes are searchable via their tail number. Southwest is one of the ones that are not.).

If you have a flight number and want to search for the tail number of the plane (since you can’t find the tail number from a flight number on flightaware) you can search here. next to “flight number” you need to first enter the IATA number of the airline (ex: Southwest is WN, Delta is DL, American is AA) followed by the flight number. The IATA code for an airline can be found via a wikipedia search. And the flight number must be 4 digits. So if the flight you’re searching is American flight 136, you’d enter AA0136 with the 0′s being place holders. Then next to “Today only/FullDatabase:” you need to toggle to “last 30 days”, then next to “Show results as:” toggle to “HTML table”. Then hit search acars. Note though that not all flights are there, and sometimes not all days.

And once you have a tail number, search on here to find details about the plane such as airline history and dates of incidents and manufacture. Just enter the tail number at the top right of the page.

That’s really cool. Thanks for the tips. Kenneth, if you’re reading this, when will the ‘hangar’ be up? :)
Hi James,
We’re working on the ‘hangar’ now. We plan to have it up in June but it COULD be up in the next 2 weeks depending on some of the modifications we have planned and when they will be finished.
Kenneth
oh nice!!!! :D I can’t wait!
Sounds good! (on the hangar) I’m in!
