   Flight schools are busy today. I love having an ADS-B receiver on the roof. It's a nifty little setup, knowing I'm pulling in the data to my own stack instead of relying on services like FlightAware. #geek #privatepilot

     @jp Neat! I couldn't use that in our condo but has me thinking about setting something up at either my SIL's house or my dad's house as both are right by airports.

     @chris I'm using the PiAware setup (link included), but I'm also feeding the data to ADS-B Exchange. I'll probably update the Pico to a more robust Raspberry Pi, but for now it's been working well. Let's see how it does with handling the desert heat in a month or so.
