Fly the friendly skies

GEEK ALERT!!!

This post is, simply put, a loving tribute to a group of people who have created an application that has numerous business-relations functions, but is also for dorks (like our Editor) who love everything about planes and flying.  And since many of us have not been able to fly for a year or more due to Covid-19, the vicarious thrill is even better.

We’re talking about the forever-fun Flightradar24.

Their site states “Flightradar24 started as a hobby project in 2006 when two Swedish aviation geeks decided to build a network of ADS-B receivers in Northern and Central Europe. In 2009 we opened up the network, and made it possible for anyone with an ADS-B receiver to upload data to the network. Many parts of the world were quickly covered, but the quest to provide global ADS-B coverage is still ongoing.

Flightradar24 is a global flight tracking service that provides you with real-time information about thousands of aircraft around the world. Their service is currently available online and for your iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Android device.”
