Flights

Today

05 Mar 2024 -- I have a problem.
The lines are ok, the hardware is fine but my eyes are seriously on the blink (Cataract, methinks).
Spotting planes is hard when spots are the only thing you see and most of the time I'm just trying to find the cursor.
None of this is helped by Linux's @#$%^ UI (Don't get me started !)
Anyway, I try and keep trying but some days -- as you have no doubt noticed -- it's just not on.
I'm sorry. I'll be visiting the doctor soon, "vennisoon". In the meantime..onward xtian soldiers etc

Donations of 50 Euro and higher get access to the 'raw' data. Thanks !
23 Dec 2022 -- Nearly all back...
Quick news flash : Turkish TB2 Bayraktar UAVs flying to Russia.
So NATO member and mediator Turkey is supplying both sides with weapons.
18 Dec 2022 -- We're back ! It took some doing, but the doing got done.
Now what remains is 'importing' the collected flight data since the server 'incident' and restoring the +50,000 resources.
02 Aug 2022 -- Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is not only upsetting the Chinese. Close to 100,000 rubberneckers are following her flight SPAR19, on one tracker alone bringing it to its knees. If only she could work that 'magic' on her real political opponents.
Let's hope she lands real quick and things can get back to normal.
Updating Ukraine
23 Jun 2022 -- Three days off-line. Going thermonuclear as ISP and telco fight over fixing a broken line. My lawyers are talking to their lawyers etc but we're finally back. Onward...
Updating Ukraine
27 Apr 2022 -- "Isn't it ironic ?" With the exception of transports by member air forces, all NATO's heavy lifting is done by companies from Ukraine -- not a NATO member -- using old, often military, Soviet aircraft.
Meanwhile : updated Ukraine
17 Mar 2022 -- Moved to Linux so rewiring some of the content/Flights plumbing.
Should be up to speed again very quickly.
Meanwhile : still Ukraine
05 Mar 2022 -- Ukraine, obviously but also keeping an eye on the rest.
12 Jan 2022 -- I have a problem keeping up with the comments. That is bad.
Apart from the amount of traffic and the increasing size of the flight information region the main problem is the quality of the trackers -- all of them. As a result I have to spend a lot more time comparing, verifying and researching.
I'm urgently looking into ways to address this vexing problem.

Weirdest : Three 747s flying potatoes.
