I never planned to build an ADSBExchange alternative, but after it was sold in 2023, I was effectively forced to. It’s been on the back burner, but TheAirTraffic now has a new main page, and I’ll be launching a user friendly replacement for the tar1090 tracking page soon. theairtraffic.com

Elon Musk's jet has changed its transponder address at least 47 times so far this year using the FAA's PIA (Privacy ICAO Address) program.

Pharma and healthcare jets at IAD today: Regeneron – N787DV Humana – N733K Pfizer – N6CP & N3CP McKesson – N714K Additionally N628TS, Elon Musk

“Most business jet operators don’t use the busiest commercial airports,” says NBAA. That ignores the fact they still fly in the same airspace and talk to the same ARTCC controllers as the airlines once airborne. Many business airports sit right next to major hubs still adding to traffic.

Rumors that UPS MD11 fleet has been grounded are currently supported by ADSB and schedule data; no brown MD11s are flying at the moment - at least six should be airborne to SDF from SJU, TPA, MIA, DFW, MIA, and MSP right now.

Chartered Delta 757 landed at Kennedy Space Center today. Uncertain as to why. It’s about to leave.

FBI / Kash Patel jet tracking account is working 😄

Launching a FBI jet account immediately. N708JH. A government jet shouldn’t be on the blocked list.

Waiting at D17 in Dallas for the first A321 XLR delivery to American Airlines. AAL9822

FAA seems to have increased the recycling of PIA ICAO codes. For ADS-B privacy. Or wondering if this is related to the Goverment shutdown. www.faa.gov/air_traffic/...

NK1300 and AF1 had a bit of an "encounter" today-- ATC was reportedly yelling at NK1300 to get their attention to get them to alter course. Not sure it was a "close call" at all, but since AF1 involved.. I tend to believe the yelling part. Thanks to @petchmo.bsky.social for his help in..

I gotta give Swift credit her jet hasn’t flown in ages. She’s just using charter jets though to hide from tracking.

Living rent free in Space Sudoers head.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff’s Gulfstream G700 private jet just took off from San Francisco and is headed to Hawaii, using the Privacy ICAO Address program in attempt to hide his flight. This comes right after Salesforce announced 4,000 layoffs and a significant drop in stock prices this week.

My accounts got nuked again on X by Musk again…

NASA’s WB-57 is surveying damage from the Texas floods.

😮 HIDING ICE FLIGHTS: ICE charter flights by GlobalX have been removed from many flight trackers, and given the call sign TYSON --previously associated w/ Secret Service and a B52 bomber squadron. Tracked by tail number, here is TYSON41 which departed Texas en route to a destination South America:

Reports out that a helicopter crashed in the Hudson river at 3:15PM ET From my analysis the helicopter in question is N216MH, a 2004 Bell 206 owned by Meridian Helicopters, but leased out.

ElonJet isn't going anywhere @fortune.com

New from the FAA - "FAA Moves to Protect Aircraft Owners’ Private Information"

On the 17th, Taylor Swift got bad press for a '40-second flight.' Then on the 20th, her plane started using the FAA PIA program again to hide flights—something it hadn’t done in months. Oh, and that '40-second flight'? It wasn’t even real.

One of NASA’s WB-57 high altitude research plane (N926NA) was added to the FAA LADD list. It no longer can be tracked on sites like FlightAware or Flightradar24. This plane is often using for imagery during rocket launches or capsule re-entry.

Can’t wait to FOIA DOGE

Musk arriving to Starbase for SpaceX’s Starship flight 8.

Jake Paul recently revealed in a series of posts that he bought a private jet. But FAA records show N801AD, a 1999 Bombardier Global Express, has been registered to the same owner (TPTDBB LLC) since early 2023. It is possible he bought the LLC, but we’ll have to see.
