Airplane Paranoia

[Canadian Joe]

Ever wondered who was in those planes flying overhead? There is an app called FlightRadar24 which shows planes in realtime. Some don't show much info but the N-number can be looked up on the FAA database and you can see who owns it. The app is cool as you can see where it's been and follow it's flight path.

Let us know if the app designates DEA or task force planes.

All aircraft have what is called an N-number which identifys the owner of the aircraft. You can look up the N-number on the FAA n-number search website and see who's flying around your place. Some seem to be anonymous and light sport and ultralights don't show up but many do. I watch the app and see a plane coming and look outside and there it is. Neat thing for those who Guerilla in high air traffic areas.

In Canada that registration number starts with a C, just an FYI for my fellow canucks (edit: the Canadian registered aircraft start with the C, American aircraft start with the N, so you could still see an N in Canada)
