Hi All,
Some of you may have come across www.flightaware.com as a way to track IFR
flights. It uses data from the FAA radar system and provides products
(free and commercial) based on it. The data is quite detailed -
minute-by-minute lat/long/altitude and speed along with aircraft type,
flight number and call-sign.
Out of curiosity I dropped them a mail saying who we were and wondering if
they would donate some historical data to the project. To my pleasant
surprise they said they would be able to help. How very nice. I've been
asked to get back in contact in November as they are quite busy right now.
So, it looks like we might have some really nice data to build some AI
flights with in the not-to-distant future.
