LAX Live — Real-Time Aircraft & ATC

🛬 Welcome to Information Zulu — Your 24/7 Live Window onto Los Angeles International Airport (LAX | KLAX)

Every aircraft you see is REAL. Real flights, real airlines, real routes — happening right now. Powered by live ADS-B data including our own ground-based antenna less than 300 miles from LAX, injected in real time into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

✈️ WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING:
- Real aircraft positions updated live via ADS-B
- Synchronized real ATC audio — tower, approach, ground
- Cinematic planespotter camera angles — gate, runway, approach, overview
- Live weather and time of day matched to real conditions
- Full flight data overlay — callsign, route, aircraft type, altitude, speed

🌏 LAX HAS IT ALL:
Ultra long haul from Asia and Europe, domestic heavies, cargo operators, private jets and everything in between. One of the world's busiest and most diverse airports — watch QF16 from Sydney, Emirates from Dubai, Lufthansa from Frankfurt and hundreds more every single day.

📡 THE TECHNOLOGY:
Real aircraft positions piped directly from ADS-B receivers into Microsoft Flight Simulator via PSXT by Nico Kaan. Our own ground antenna near LAX feeds hyper-local data supplemented by RealTraffic for global coverage. Time of day, weather and traffic all matched to live real-world conditions. LAX's digital twin since 2017.
