Change the query to get results from any airport, or build your own. Everything is possible with Wikidata. It's incredible that so few people know about it.

If you're only interested in "local" data then you might be able to obtain it via a software radio. I have a cheap USB receiver hooked up to my PC so I can watch the aircraft "overhead" in real-time. Annoyingly it loses the signal when the aircraft get too low, so I cannot see them landing.
