flights_overhead

List the aircraft flying near a location right now, nearest first, with altitude, speed, heading and distance. Live positions broadcast by the aircraft themselves, not a schedule

Free. This one only touches this instance's own storage, so there is nothing to charge for.

Runs on Flights — Where aircraft are, live from ADS-B.
