TN.Frank Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I found this web site that'll track a flight if you get the flight number. https://flightaware.com/live/ I've been listening to the 127MHz band picking up aircraft radio traffic on my SDR set up and I type in the flight numbers that I get and it'll show where they're from and where they're going. So far they've all flown over my area here where I live at and that's why I'm picking up their radio chatter. Anyway, just thought I'd share with ya'll.

iamk3 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Flight Aware is really cool. I use it to track flights when friends and family are flying. I also used it to look up the N number of the plane that showed up on the recent episode! Edited February 10, 2014 by iamk3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN.Frank Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I use this one. the best IMO http://www.flightradar24.com Now that's a cool site. Almost like having ADS-B going without the need for the software or dongle. Thanks. Got this one bookmarked. Also, since it's web based you can watch aircraft from anywhere in the World. I was watching planes land at Honolulu Airport. Of course you only get 30 minutes before you have to reload the web page but still, this will help scratch my ADS-B itch until I can figure out how to get it working under Kali with my dongle.

TN.Frank Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Too bad there wasn't a way to get the broadcast freq. of aircraft from Flightradar24 so I could tune into it with Gqrx and listen as they pass over head. I see a lot of aircraft passing over my area, guess we're in a flight path from FL to Chicago or something and I've heard a few while surfing Gqrx but it'd be cool to be able to put the two together to take the guess work out of hearing the aircraft that I see on Flightradar24.

kerpap Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I love that site. my office window looks right over the landing path of a major international airport and I like that FR24 shows the tail number, where it was coming from and pulls a picture of the aircraft out of a database. I have it open on my DT and watch for hours. (working of course) ;-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
