What it returns
Recent trips of private and business jets: where each flight departed, where it landed, when, and for how long. We record every business jet visible in adsb.lol's open ADS-B feed every 10 minutes, turn the sightings into trips with the nearest airport at each end, and join US aircraft to their FAA registered owner. Search by tail number, by company (FAA owner name), by aircraft type, or by departure or arrival airport.
