Trying to make sense of an aircraft’s movements during a conflict? Context is everything. That’s why we built Turnstone, an open source tool that searches historical flight data to allow researchers to explore flight patterns over time and in specific locations. https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/2026/03/05/turnstone-flight-tracking-tool/?utm_source=mstdn
For example, flight data before both the June 2025 and February 2026 strikes showed a uniquely large number of American aerial tankers leaving the US and crossing the Atlantic towards Iran.

Bellingcat’s New Tool to Explore Historical and Spatial Flight Data

Turnstone can visualise historical trends in flight data or filter them by geography, aircraft type and other parameters.
