The Question is really in the title in this one!
I find this website really good, FlightAware - Free Flight Tracker - IFR Flight Status, Tracking, History, Maps (http://flightaware.com/)
However, it just covers the US. Is there a European equivalent?

Flight Tracker (http://www.flightstats.com), will even inform you via SMS about the latest status. Free registration required for the messages.

Thanks Nightrider, ya I have seen this website. However, it's doesn't show the flight plan route as on flightaware which I found most useful.
Ah well I guess there isn't an EU version....thanks anyway.

Be aware that even in the US the graphical display is not in "real time". There is a mandatory delay.
Also I am not finding the source anymore, I recall to have seen the statement that graphical tracking is not allowed in Europe due to data protection acts in several countries, may be even an European law.
