The FlightRadar24 app has had this feature for quite some time. I like your implementation though - it’s very easy on the eye.
Paid feature though

#22This is great, smart application of graphics and public data.

#23This is so impressive, love it! A bit of feedback: Clicking exit cockpit goes back to the previous page (in this case this HN thread). Not sure if just me, but I really had to search hard for the actions under menu and the cockpit button.
Double-clicking on an airplane should send you to the cockpit view imo.

#24I'm currently flying at Mach 10 on a custom call sign, breaking all kinds of barriers on a single heading. I cannot be stopped. https://flight-viz.com/cockpit.html?lat=40.64&lon=-73.78&alt...
If you wait long enough, it looks like things go very wrong around the poles.

#25Commands are not that handy but from someone that has the flying in his heart since he was child I must admit that it's cool to have the cockpit view
You can get "introductory" flights for pretty cheap, where they let you fly a bit.

#26Would be nice to pair this with something like FlightRadar where you can see relevant flights in proximity to you and select them.

#27Interesting, I wonder if it would be possible to visualize the most dramatic parts of every flight -- takeoffs and landings.

#28this is interesting and how much of the rendering/logic is running in WASM vs JS?
