There's quite the chorus of "Everyone is moving to airframes.io" or other similarly phrased posts in the ADS-B Exchange buyout thread[1]. Based on what I'm seeing, I feel like this is probably a premature place to settle on.

1. If you go to https://github.com/airframesio/ , it talks about how they want to eventually open source stuff. But mercy, like 90% of their stuff is private right now.

2. The Airframes roadmap has basically not been touched since 2019. https://trello.com/b/1vq5pHNq/acars-server-public-board (linked to as the "Airframes Public Trello Board" on airframes.io about page, both owned/authored by Kevin).

3. I also have found no public API documentation for reading or querying data. There appears to be a webapp one could pretty easily reverse engineer, but I haven't found any ToS or usage documentation that grant any rights to use the data.

I would absolutely not go to airframes.io in it's current state.

Side note, I think this is a super fascinating use-case for what p2p might want to target. Trying to draw together & perhaps correlate & index many highly active streams of data is a very compelling (and hard) problem.
