Planes also broadcast air temperature, wind speed and direction along with the usual altitude, speed and position. A lot of planes are flying overhead so I thought it might be neat to combine that data, as usual a quick search turned up some researchers in NL who already thought of that a few years ago. [1]

There's a lot of data around us, and lots cool projects to collect and analyze it as well.

You can find all kinds of things in UAT. Not just weather but you can find various equipment information like the landing gear coming down, message sent from the plane (SMS, crew) and there have even been times they broadcast credit card data!

Very cool! I had no idea that information was there! Time for a new project.
