AirNav Suite 3 is ACARS, Internet, HF and VHF Flight and Tracking, and Monitoring. The most powerful resource available for the airband and aviation enthusiast. The program downloads updated flight data and usually shows 300 flights/hour worldwide. With just one mouse click you can download updated data for more than 300 flights each hour. You will see all the flights that send reports by voice (HF) and AMDAR (satellite). The data is downloaded from a meteorological ftp server that receives flight updates from many ATC centers all around the world. A Borland C++ Builder Application that is provided as a free download demo. A deluxe version is available for under $70.

The National Security Agency's "Kids Page" features several interactive applets, with puzzles to challenge the "kid" in all of us. This link focuses on just one applet, but don't forget to explore the other offerings on the "Kids Page." Of particular interest are five newspaper headlines from 1863 enciphered by monoalphabetic substitution, each using a different mixed alphabet. The Java Applet helps you decrypt the texts by allowing you to try different solutions. Much of the impetus for the development of computers came from Allied attempts to decrypt the coded messages of the Axis powers, particularly those encrypted by the German Enigma machine. |
