About this widget

Flight Radar draws a live ADS-B scope of the aircraft around you, pulling positions from community feeds (adsb.lol, adsb.fi, or airplanes.live) with no API key. Each contact is a heading-rotated dart with a callsign label and a fading trail, and a readout below names the nearest aircraft with its type, altitude, distance, and bearing. Between refreshes the blips keep moving along their last known track so the scope reads as a continuous crawl, and hovering any blip shows its speed and bearing. Set your location by pasting lat, lon, or let it fall back to an approximate IP fix, then tune radius, altitude cap, refresh rate, units, and marker color.
