Given Musk's latest dishonest tantrum over public ADSB flight telemetry, I decided to link up our ground station that has fed FlightAware and ADSBExchange for years to @openskynetwork.
Supporting open source aviation telemetry is vital to research, geopolitical analysis and incident response.
@jamiesaker Thanks! Yes, it's amazing that it's easy to be a multi-feeder. For those interested what good it does to feed OpenSky, too, check out our (almost always immediately outdated) pages on publications and social impact:
https://opensky-network.org/about/social-impact
https://opensky-network.org/community/publications
Almost 350 scientific publications, across all sectors from air traffic management to computer security to Earth and climate sciences!
@blueben @openskynetwork Definitely great time to get those going. I've got an upgraded antenna to mount on a 30' tower for our ADS-B coverage but need a lift to install it.
We're in Offutt AFB's landing flight path for runway 13/31 and get a lot of fascinating aircraft including the Nightwatch E-4Bs (National Emergency Airborne Command Post). Always interesting hearing a 747 under 5,000 feet with callsigns like GORDO14, GRIM99, TITAN25, ECTO84, AMPEX18, CLUB22 and the ominous reference to Star Wars ORDER66.
