A Python application that monitors ADS-B flight data from OpenSky or ADSBExchange and sends notifications when configured aircraft take off or land, including reverse-geocoded locations and map screenshots. It supports output to many platforms such as Discord, Twitter, and Telegram, and was originally built to track Elon Musk's private jet.

Use cases

  • get notified when a specific plane takes off or lands
  • track a private jet's movements in real time
  • post automatic flight updates to Discord or Twitter
  • monitor emergency squawks from aircraft
  • run a flight-tracking bot for an aviation community
  • log takeoff and landing locations for specific aircraft

When to choose

  • you want self-hosted real-time notifications for specific aircraft
  • you need multi-platform output (Discord, Twitter, Telegram, etc.)
  • you want to use free OpenSky data or have an ADSBExchange API key
  • you're running a public flight-tracking account or bot

When to avoid

  • you need a polished GUI flight-tracking dashboard rather than notifications
  • you can't run a persistent Python process or Docker container
  • you need guaranteed low-latency commercial-grade tracking data
  • you only need historical flight data rather than live alerts
