This site will give you precise information on plane arrivals.

It actually gives you more, such as the entire trip of the airplane to departure and then arrival airport. When you get the flight number, try the search that way, and it will show the plane exactly where it is in the air.

The founder of the company lives in San Jose, and originally wrote the program for the U.S. government to track airplanes. It is used today by air controllers. He kept the license to the software program, then originally developed it for rental companies at airports. Through Financial Pacific, over 300 Hertz agencies received the computer, monitor, and program, and then could get cars ready for they knew precisely when the planes were landing. This was a big boon at busy air ports and then planning.

He then decided to take this to hotels and other such places, and the company grew to where they hired a president---and then it fell apart. So he went back to the internet, developed the program to sell, which he does, and as part of the promotion, developed this “on line” program, which has become very popular, all based on a figuring out how the computer could keep better track of air flights, and then convincing the Department of Transportation. Once he gave a demonstration, they wanted it immediately.
