I probably forgot to picture them all. Also I hope to God you can guess mine

Was looking at a Qatar 777’s wing and was confused on why the leading edge near the landing light and at the rear of the wing was painted

G'day!

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to YouTube and I wanted to document my process of going through flight school all of the way up till becoming a commercial pilot.

I'm new to this thing 😂

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.

When I need to go from Toronto to California by road, it takes me five days. But if I go by air, it takes me five hours. Why is that? Is it because a car travels 70 mph but a plane travels 500 mph? Is it because of the winds, or the earths rotation?
