Purpose
When using the AirplaneJS software, a user may want to single-handedly open the FlightRadar24 information for an aircraft quickly. This pull request enables that functionality by opening the external link to the FlightRadar24 website in a new tab by default. A user can close the tab to return to the AirplaneJS session in another. This addresses issue #4.
Approach
The generated URL to FlightRadar24 will now target a new tab through the addition of
target="_blank", and include an indicator that it is an external link. This is good practice for any site navigating users away from the parent domain.Testing
