You can also use the SSA tracker, select your soaring site and view the traces with the satellite overlay. Every day is archived so you can go back as far as you want, even if no one flew that day you can still see a time lapse of the satellite view by sliding the time bar.

They don't archive the sat pics for regions where there are no flights. So if nobody flies the west coast, like yesterday you are out of luck if you wanted to see the OD near Chandler AZ for example that created havoc at the airport there.

Much better is NRL or Nexsat. Rapidfire is okay with great resolution but infrequent images. Also hard to search their subsets.
