I Created a 3d Airplane Tracker
Key topics
- flight following lets you follow your favorite flight as it journeys
- surf mode automatically follows another flight if yours lands so you can chill with air traffic
- 3D airspace in the US lets you see who is going to get a number to call from ATC
- terrain/map/satellite imagery
- and I’m open to adding features that you want!!
