A thought experiment leapt to mind on how one would triangulate (septangulate!) your location based on heading, time, flight information, and their intersections. I suppose you could get within a 100 meters? Very cool photos!
When I lived in Macau a while back, I used to listen to the Hong Kong Airport tower on my SDR and try to link it to flight data, but at the time (2011/2012 or so)my connection and the data was not that great, but I could see and hear who was taking off and landing.

- eggy 5y agoI was only listening, but it was fun! I listened to the plane landing that my older children were on when coming to visit me. What amazes me about your project is to put focus on things we take for granted going over our heads all the time.
