FlightAware's radar overlay is a current picture, not a snapshot of the
radar picture during the flight. IMO, this radar picture only works when
one is tracking a flight realtime.

For flights that have completed, they need to either remove the image all
together or do what LiveATC.net does with their archives and store/display
the radar image at the time of the flight.

This has been a minor nuisance to me since they added this, so when I have
a moment I am going to post the above recommendation in their forum.
FlightAware's web authors seem to be very responsive to comments about
their site.
