Some words

A massive thanks to everyone for supporting all the things we have been building and trying to accomplish over the last 8 months!

It's been hard dealing with the trolls, but banning and ejecting those few has been more than worth it. We're not interested in zealotry, falsehoods, or comical agendas. We are aviation enthusiasts first and foremost. We're determined and dedicated to create a sustainable long term network. Unlike others, we not are doing this for Internet fame, fan clubs, or private jet money; we do this because we have a passion for it.

To be clear, there has only been ~10 total bans from our Discord, some were given multiple chances to course correct. It was a small group and they were very vocal in causing problems while offering no solutions. Everyone behind the scenes and in this Discord lives rent free in their heads. Take comfort that our efforts to create a welcoming place for real aviation enthusiasts were successful.

Our goal is to be the top ADS-B tracking group and network there is! We need your help to do it!

Dedicated work instead of constant discord/forum/chat/social media drama allows PARTNERSHIPS that move the community forward without the trolls and zealotry!

We have combined efforts to bring you an API that you can use once a second as a drop in replacement for the ADSBexchange Rapid API v2.

All we ask is that you spread the word and feed data from your recievers! At this time the API does not require a feeder, but if you use and don't give back - that's simply uncool. You aren't uncool, are you?
