Back when this first launched, I said it was like writing webgl shaders for ADS-B with SQL.

And I made a custom GPT that could translate natural language queries to Clickhouse's query language: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-GfJuwxZFt-ads-b-exposed-expert

Very cool project indeed!

I tried to check the kind of flights they flew in the world's dangerous airport (Lukla, Nepal)[0] and found they use ATR-72 series.

Highlighting an area, I see in the sidebar: Time: 2022-02-01 00:09:20.136 — 2023-12-07 22:46:41.480. Would be nice if it had newer data.
