Description
Track every aircraft in your sky - in real time, unfiltered, with proximity alerts that tell you exactly when traffic is heading your way.
SkyPinger connects to ADS-B Exchange, the world's largest cooperative network of unfiltered flight data. Unlike other trackers that hide military, government, and private flights, SkyPinger shows everything broadcasting ADS-B - the complete picture drone pilots and aviation enthusiasts need.
