Step 1: Find an airport
Step 2: Find an airplane in-flight (like this one)

How long does it take you to find one? Took me about 10 seconds. Just wondering if I was lucky.

Hint: You probably won't find one if you're zoomed-in too far.

Found in a few seconds. Just looked at the landing pattern for the local airport.

Well played. The plane isn't there if you zoom out two notches. How'd you find that or did you already know it was there?

Google - "google maps airplanes in flight" or "Planes on Google Maps".
