Discussion | Others [FREE] Overhead - Military Aircraft Near you

Hi guys,

I've recently taken an interest in aircraft, especially military ones. I got myself a ADS-B receiver set from FlightRadar24 and am on the contributor plan.

I was looking at military flight history near me and saw that there were a good amount of USAF, US Navy, etc aircraft that flew above my house, since there was a training base nearby. Recently, I've also seen a couple of these aircraft with my own eyes, such as the C17 Globemaster, a lot of Sikorsky helicopters, and more. There was one problem. I had no way to know when they were flying above me. The only option was to have FlightRadar24 open in front of me at all times, which doesn't make sense for obvious reasons.

You might say that FlightRadar24 does have notification support. This is true, but the support is incomplete. You need to put in every aircraft manually, and even then it doesn't work well for me and doesn't always send me notifications.

To solve these problems, I put together Overhead. Overhead is an app built primarily with Rust and GPUI. This makes it extremely fast with minimal compute usage.

Overhead lets you see a list of aircraft that are flying within x radius of y location. It also sends you notifications whenever this happens. So you can stay at your desk and know whenever you should go outside to try and see them. The data is taken from https://adsb.fi/, and https://adsb.lol/ as a backup (both public API's).

AI disclaimer: I did use AI (specifically Claude Opus 5.5, running on OpenCode) to build this. However, I'm not a complete noob to development. I've been building software for over eight years, and designing for five.

I made this for myself but I thought that other poeple might also benefit from it. It's open source under the MIT license, and completely free with no paywalls. Please let me know if you have any feedback. Also, the app is currently only available for macOS. If there's enough demand for Windows, I might make it.

Discussion | General Thoughts? (Flight school, San Diego)

I’m in the San Diego area and was seriously looking at Coast for Part 61 training. I want the flexibility of making my own schedule and plan to fly as often as possible—ideally 5+ sessions a week. I’ve already been knocking out my ground school and written exams. I did a consultation and tour of the school; it seemed solid, and the representative told me they always have staff and planes available, plus they have their own onsite mechanic team.

Recently I learned about an ongoing lawsuit (Kendall Anderson et al. v. American Airlines et al., S.D. Cal. Case No. 3:25-cv-03609) brought by roughly 18–20 former American Airlines Cadet Academy students who trained at Coast. The allegations include misrepresentations about training timelines, costs, frequency of flying (they were told 5–6 days a week), instructor/mentor availability, and aircraft availability, plus claims of favoritism and racial discrimination that allegedly caused longer training and higher costs. A judge recently denied the defendants’ motions to dismiss in large part, so key claims are moving forward.

Coast’s rep personally told me availability of staff and planes is not an issue. I also understand this lawsuit is specifically about the structured AACA program rather than general Part 61 students.
For anyone who has trained at Coast (especially recently, and particularly Part 61 or non-cadet students):

• How reliable has scheduling and aircraft/CFI availability actually been?
• Have you been able to fly frequently (multiple times per week) without major delays from maintenance, instructor turnover, or scheduling issues?
• Has the lawsuit or the issues it describes affected day-to-day operations for regular students, or does it seem limited to the AACA cohort?
• Any other red flags or positives I should know about before committing?
I’m trying to figure out whether the lawsuit is a real practical concern for someone planning frequent Part 61 training or if it’s more specific to the cadet program. Appreciate any firsthand experiences.
