Spidertracks is awesome

What started as a simple phone call to ask the Spidertracks guys a few months ago about our in-flight tracking costs during an intensive period of flying has resulted in a great partnership.  Todd O'Hara and his team were enthusiastic about what we were doing as private aviators and has provided considerable assistance with our flight.

Spidertracks is a world leader in satellite tracking devices for aircraft.  Designed and built in New Zealand, Spiders continue to push the standard of real-time aircraft tracking. Spidertracks’ partnership with the Iridium network allows Spiders to track an aircraft over every inch of the globe from take-off to landing.  If MH370 had a Spider installed it would have been found by now!

With Spiders installed in Dave's, Bill's and my aircraft our friends and family can watch our progress on the Across The Ditch web page Spidertracks has provided for us.  They can also be assured that should we encounter any difficulty the Spidertracks system will quickly alert those who are performing flight-following for us and the appropriate rescue authorities.

Thanks Todd, Helen and the rest of the Spidertracks team - you rock!
