WingPing — Overhead Aircraft Alerts bởi banta.pro

Ever hear a helicopter circling and wonder what it is? WingPing tells you — the moment it enters your airspace.

WingPing watches the sky around any location you choose using free, community-run ADS-B flight data (airplanes.live, with adsb.lol as automatic fallback — no account or API key needed). When something interesting flies overhead, you get a desktop notification with the callsign, aircraft type, altitude, and distance — one click away from its live flight path on a map.

WHAT COUNTS AS INTERESTING? YOU DECIDE.

★ Nine alert categories — toggle each on or off:
• Military aircraft (curated military database + callsign patterns)
• Helicopters
• Jets (airliners and bizjets)
• Heavies (747s, A380s, C-5s and friends)
• Balloons — hot-air and high-altitude
• Gliders
• Drones / UAVs
• Props & general aviation
• Emergency squawks — 7500 / 7600 / 7700, because when someone declares an emergency overhead, you probably want to know

★ Watchlist — always alert on specific aircraft by tail number, ICAO hex code, callsign, or type. Wildcards supported (SAM* catches every special air mission).

★ Exclusion list — never alert on the medevac base next door or the flight school's Cessnas. Wildcards here too (LIFE, SWA). Emergency squawks override exclusions.

★ Radar scope — click the radar button and get a round, old-school PPI scope with a rotating sweep: every aircraft in range as a color-coded blip with heading vectors and callsigns, whether it matches your alerts or not. Click any blip for its flight path.

★ ATC radio — one click opens the LiveATC feed for your chosen airport, so you can listen to the controllers while you watch the traffic.

★ Easy location setup — type an address, city, or airport code (KDEN, DEN, KAPA...), use your current location, or enter coordinates directly. Set your alert radius from 1 to 250 nautical miles.

★ Quiet by design — per-aircraft cooldown stops a loitering helicopter from spamming you; jets and GA props are off by default so city dwellers aren't buried in alerts.
