Apparently this site only picks up certain types of aircraft with a special transponder. I think the relevant details can be found in the "about" section.
So, basically there is a massive crapload more aircraft flying around than those displayed!

We don't get many planes over here but I've never thought of using this site when one does.
My son and I visit this site occasionally (he is into planes) and I've never thought about using it for jetstream readings.

I'm into aviation, and know a fair bit about all things aircraft related, and it struck me when I noticed the unusually slow speeds westbound aircraft display sometimes. I find the site alot of fun as Berwick gets alot of inbound traffic from Tasmania and NZ. Sometimes we get outbound flights going overhead aswell.
