What is the utility of the project? Any use cases?

Also, what if many folks set up the same so that we have full crowdsourced surveillance of aircrafts over various regions, how could this info be used i wonder?

Looking at the planes that fly over your house? Seriously, I am interested in this and do it already "manually" when I can. What more reason do you need?

I am not sure if it is actually useful... but if folks have ideas, I would love to hear them! I worked on it mostly to see if it could be done.

+1 to this question. I am interested to learn about use cases that go beyond satiating one's own desire to identify the plane.
