Currently I have a similar setup but the data is sent to FlightRadar24 and you get a $499.99/year Business subscription for free for doing exactly this (but sending the data to them).
So, the question I wanted to bring up (and might be controversial) is to know what the differences between the two are? Taking a quick look around it does feel like FlightAware has a lot more openness to it than FR24, which is interesting for me, but I am interested in other opinions on this?
I mean, getting the subscription for pushing the data is always a nice bonus, kinda tempted to just push data to both, and have another Pi sitting in my loft!
Personally, I love just being nosey and seeing the flights around my area, but I am just a bit strange like that ;)

- mystcb 6y agoStarted going down the rabbit hole of links just after posting this, and yes! I had no idea! Just need to work it out! - At the moment I am using the FR24 image they sent out, but I have spotted that the SD Card is in read only mode at the moment and something doesn't look right. Maybe its a sign telling me to go down this rabbit hole! Thanks ;)

- mike_d 6y agoThe "Business Subscription" is just a ploy to get people to feed them data for free. If you contact them and actually ask for business services the price is wayyyy more. You should feed to ADSBexchange which is a free and open community run network for flight tracking. They don't censor planes for money like FA/FR24/Radarbox/etc do.
