The Flight Watcher — Read the Sky Overhead with an SDR

You'll walk away with: A receive-only flight tracker on your desk — an RTL-SDR dongle feeding dump1090 into a Python service Claude Code wrote — that turns the ADS-B broadcasts of every aircraft overhead into a live local map, pings you when a plane drops below your chosen altitude within your chosen radius (or when a rare type or a specific tail number passes), and quietly logs the whole sky to a database so you can chart your busiest hours.
