“I’ve been meaning to ask someone about the “skywatching”. Aren’t we civvie/mortals reliant on Google Earth where imagery dates of a land area are not real time or current?”
Using a website like https://www.flightview.com/flighttracker/ will get you realtime updates.
IF I was to give you the tail # of the last aircraft I was associated with you could find all of its flights (until it was transferred out of the country and reregistered).
I will not divulge that information as it would give you way too much information about ME, no offense.
I occasionally look up tail numbers when I’m at my local FBO and am always amazed how much information is readily available...
Which tab is used to enter a tail number for tracking?
