Great Product

I use the Pilot Edition and am very happy with it. Tons of overlays( wx, cities, fixes, airports, airways, radar, sector boundaries, etc) and it'll email 4 addresses flight updates. $15/month. I know filightware is free, but I think this is much more robust. YMMV.

ps - anyone have a clue as to what the /6 is on the tag after the proposed arrival time? Zulu offset??

Perhaps the "6" is the date? I don't think it would be a Zulu offset as all the airlplanes no matter what time zone thay are landing in have the 6 after it. What day of the month was this pic taken?

After futzing with my software, there is an optional "scratch pad" text that you can tag each plane with after the A/C Type and ETA.
If this is correct, I'm wondering why the OP tagged each plane with a "6".

I'll PM the OP to see if they can help out.

Thanks
