I built something similar[0] a while back, Stardrift looks 100x better - nice work!

hey! I saw this and liked it a lot! It’s impressive how you pull in all the routes per tail - we considered doing it but were worried it would be too expensive. Definitely opens up cool options though.

This is the 1st link posted in /r/unitedairlines anytime someone mentions "starlink". One use-case better covered by https://unitedstarlinktracker.com/ is the upfront log that shows a quick swath of airports that might receive and depart starlink equipped planes. I can CTRL-F -> "RDU" and know immediately my chance of checking this out (not much).

Would it be hard to produce a pie chart showing top 10 airports with most starlink planes arriving/departing?
