While that uppity Icelandic volcano is spewing hot ash into the atmosphere like an enormous, thoughtless smoker, you can watch the impact on European flights in realtime on the site FlightRadar24.
When I saw it, eloquence deserted me entirely. My words:
NEAT! FRIKKIN NEATO!!!
Yes, not only will this site show you flight data in realtime, but it will also turn you into an eight-year-old tomboy.
You’re welcome?

I’m also a fan of http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/ which does basically the same thing but for shipping. It’s fun watching the ferries scuttling back & forth.
Ah, fun, thanks!
