## What it is
OpenFlights is a web application for logging flights, rendering them on a zoomable world map, and automatically calculating travel statistics, which can be shared publicly. It also distributes free airport, airline, and route datasets and is built as a JavaScript frontend over an Nginx/PHP/MySQL backend.

## Use cases
- log my flights and see them on a world map
- calculate statistics like total miles flown
- download free airport and airline route data
- check which airlines fly from a given airport
- share my flight history with friends
- self-host a flight tracking website
- visualize flight routes in Google Earth

## When to choose
- you want to map and analyze your personal flight history
- you need free, comprehensive airport, airline, or route datasets
- you want a self-hosted flight logging tool with map visualization

## When to avoid
- you need a modern, well-tested codebase to extend — the code is legacy PHP with incomplete tests
- you need real-time flight tracking rather than manual logging
- you want a mobile app experience
