For anyone that was interested in the @[email protected] flight tracking tutorial we posted yesterday, this is a good beginner's guide to accommpany the hardware how-to. #avgeek https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/how-tos/2019/10/15/a-beginners-guide-to-flight-tracking/

A Beginner's Guide To Flight Tracking - bellingcat

Translations:English (UK)EspañolFlight tracking is an accessible and useful tool for open source investigators. Being able to track the movements of aircraft belonging to powerful individuals and armed forces can add important details to stories, or even uncover entire new narratives. There are several commercial and hobby websites that allow us to do just that. The […]

This is interesting. Looks like as well as banning the @elonjet and other associated accounts, #Twitter has made it so you can't post links to site like ADS-B Exchange that publically share such information. #FlightTracking #ADSB #TwitterMigration #Privacy https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a835af

ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live

ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live - aircraft flight history

Looks like it's just ADS-B Exchange that's now blocked on #Twitter. Other sites, like FlightAware that won't return information on @elonjet aren't (yet?) blocked. Or maybe the folks at Twitter just don't know about the other sites? #FlightTracking #ADSB #TwitterMigration #Privacy https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N628TS

Live Flight Tracker - FlightAware

Flight Tracker (en route flights, arrivals, departures, history) with live maps and aircraft photos

@aallan @elonjet looks like FlightRadar has done the same thing. No flight data.

@bouncywallaby Still not sure why FlightAware is returning the "We won't return information about @elonjet" error message in Turkish? 🤷‍♂️

@aallan @elonjet Because ADS-B Exchange is probably the only #adsb #flighttracking site that does not hide selected planes nor has special paid tiers; so for me, it's the one worth promoting and feeding.

PointyHairedElon: You! Engineer, make it so nobody can post about my flights, NOW!
Engineer: Er... that's really complicated, I'll have to work out which sites and content to block. I don't know if I can do it...
PointyHairedElon: 30 minutes or you're fired!
Engineer: Ok then...

It's a fun hobby. This was the data in my backyard near CYYZ when Covid hit in March 2020. Most flights going out east passed over my house at 5,000 feet.

Then, then didn't.

Now we've moved. I'm just due west of ROKTO out back and the approach to CYKF when my renos are done will be putting in two more.

@jimcarroll @elonjet @[email protected] I've got a mast outside with my ADS-B and my AIS antenna attached. Keep on meaning to get a weather station up on the same pole. So many things, so little time.

@aallan @elonjet @Raspberry_Pi

I've got a big maple tree blocking the approach to ROKTO. I don't think the neighbors will let me take it down.

My ones at my chalet have line of site to the north over Lake Huron/Georgian Bay and if I can get the antennae high enough, get amazing stuff going into DTW, MSP, ORD

@aallan @jimcarroll @elonjet @Raspberry_Pi A little video from earlier in the year with AIS data receiving with a #RaspberryPI... ADS-B is on the to do list also..........

@aallan @elonjet @Raspberry_Pi Bummer it's just info on FR24. I'd like to feed ADSBexchange and FlightAware too. Not radar box, they are jerks.

@User47 @elonjet @[email protected] This can feed FlightAware?

@aallan @elonjet @Raspberry_Pi Yeah. The hardware is all there. But no instruction on that post about how to configure feeding to other services. My guess is it was an FR24 partnership and/or paid post so they didn't want to help the competition. When I build, I want a unity box for all. Except Radarbox

@User47 @elonjet @[email protected] Nope, we don't do paid advertorial content. It was a just us wanting to give folks a point to get started. FlightAware has a similar OS distribution, https://uk.flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/build. We flipped a coin as to who we'd use. My own station at home is a customised PiAware installation.

PiAware - build your own ADS-B ground station for integration with FlightAware - FlightAware

Build a network ADS-B and MLAT (Mode S) receiver in two hours for USD$100 / EUR€80. Step-by-step instructions along with a link to your statistics and how to register for a free FlightAware Enterprise account.

@aallan I have wanted to do a story for Airline Reporter (not on Mastodon) for years on building a unity box to feed 'em all. Is that something Raspberry team would be interested in partnering on? No money. Just knowledge. Would love to chat [email protected]

@User47 That sounds like a great project to have out there. We generally don't do partnerships, but we'd certainly blog about it, and push it on social if you went ahead and wrote it up for your own site?

@aallan nice, bookmarking and will follow up. Thank you
