FYI - airplanes.live is run by community hobbyists, who are paying out of pocket to keep the service running - so it's not free (it costs a lot of money to run), and commercial use does break their TOS. If you do use it in any capacity, at the very least please feed back into the network. It is very affordable to do (the SDRs can be had for cheap in various places) and easy to set up. Coverage is very important - the more feeders the better data everyone will have. (Not affiliated with them, just a hobbyist myself.)

Yes! I'm working on a feeder setup. But airplanes.live is actually moving away from the free model as of just a few days ago. They're asking for $25/month + a feed now.... Which seems like a lot, I'll still feed if they want it though.
