Really cool project. I've lived in DC for a bit and came across Helicopters of DC[1], whom have gamified spotting copters across the city.

The model they use is publicly available, too, to call via API for free: https://universe.roboflow.com/helicoptersofdc/helicopters-of...

Have you thought about collaborating with them on data/models?

Not to hijack the OP, but yes, my Twitter bot actually tweets spots to his bot. My DCSkyCam data this helps train his models, but another objective for me was to learn image ML techniques, so I’m using all my own data/models.
