Is it really "live" if it's only "updated every 5-10 minutes while the Concorde team is online"?

With a Raspberry Pi and a $20 USB SDR, one can have their own real-time map of air traffic. I've got four of 'em deployed already and have a few more I need to get set up. I'm an aviation nerd as well, so it's very cool to me.

Good point. Real-time is definitely not accurate, but I'd be willing to say 5-10 minutes delayed is as close to a "live" view as is legally allowed.

Did you built your Raspberry Pi stations with FlightAware's guide?

I loosely followed their guide, yes. I put their PiAware image on the Pi but the hardware is a little different.

A similar application involving a VHF-capable SDR to monitor and plot AIS traffic might be fun, from a maritime perspective.

How does your cheap flight deals work. I found the cheapest fare for mumbai from you !

Do you have similar deals from NY

Hi,

Glad that you found a great deal via Concorde! At the moment, we are posting deals by user demand. We have had a handful of requests for deals originating in the NYC area, so we are planning to start posting deals from NYC airports in the next week or so. Keep reminding us!

Thanks for checking out Concorde!
