Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The app draws from a community-run ADS-B receiver network and lets users search aircraft by callsign, registration, or hex, then inspect photographs, routes, type, and registered operator. Its optional ATC scope mode highlights controller-style fields such as flight level, groundspeed, climb or descent, and 7500/7600/7700 squawks. The homepage also describes NOAA/NWS radar overlays and a feeder arrangement in which active contributors receive Pro access.
