#planetracking — Public Fediverse posts

Just got my new ADS-B antenna, which was a significant upgrade from my prior whip antenna.

Now supporting power to the antenna, 23.15dbi gain, and have window mounted for better line of sight to the Darling Scarp and beyond.

The horizontal detection radius has doubled to nearly 300km, and easily capturing anything 35,000ft and above.

Just need to put the bias tee in an ABS case now for a little protection.

Today is low flying day in NJ for military craft, it seems. There has been a #UH60 black hawk in the air at low altitude a decent amount of the afternoon. Sometimes two. This #C130H has also been flying at 500ft. #planetracking

Drones or not doesn't seem to have slowed down the 2nd Air Refueling Squadron, they are quite busy today. A new registration number I didn't have before to! (Not in the photo). #KC46A #planetracking

Also a #P8 Poseidon scanning the coasts.

Hey 🕵️‍♂️#OSINT🕵️‍♀️ 👀, Dictator Alert is a project that tracks the aircrafts of authoritarian regimes all over the world and runs several Twitter bots that announce when these aircrafts land in Paris, London, Geneva etc.

This initiative is run by two freelance investigative journalists: Emmanuel Freudenthal (@EmmanFre), based in East Africa, and François Pilet (@FrancoisPilet), based in Switzerland.
