Airports iOS app gone free today

[pinkoos]

For some reason this app has gone free today and I don't think the business model has changed (that is, I don't see any new IAP, subscriptions, etc)

Downloaded, even if I don't think I'll ever use it.

I frequently check https://flightradar24.com to see what's flying overhead.

Yeah I think this is more an airport app than airplane app

Downloaded.

It will likely never be needed, but it might be fun to play with.

Thank you, pinkoos.


flightradar looks interesting.

A decade or more ago, a military jet flew overhead, so I tried checking with OAK to see what it was, and we couldn't find any track.

It looked like it was headed north, possibly to then NAS Alameda, but no joy.

It seemed on to both me and the OAK person I talked to.

An app like this might have helped when OAK radar didn't.
