Flight spotting isn’t something I’ve ever got into. Sure, I have friends who can tell you what types of aircraft are on any given runway but none of them keep a record of what they’ve seen, let alone travel around trying to see airplane models that they can tick off their list. As a result, I’ve never really been ‘into’ planes. That is until recently.
It’s all the fault of the Flightradar24 app. This deceptively simple app opens up the skies in more ways than I ever thought possible. Through some very clever tech, the app lets you track and see planes around the world move in real-time on a detailed map. The first time I opened up the app, I was flabbergasted by how many planes were up in the sky. It looked like they were all going to crash into each other! I have newfound respect for air traffic controllers.
