Do Your Own Recon: Flight Tracking
This session was only about flight tracking. We taught folks how to track flights using a minimal setup and showcase them on a map.
Attendees learned how to ingest flight data from readily available sources, filter and enrich it, and plot aircraft positions and tracks on an interactive map. We covered which data sources to use, basic parsing, and map integration - e.g. showing current positions and flight trails over time. The setup was kept light on purpose so anyone could replicate it at home. We left time for people to try different regions or flight types and see results in real time.
