This years theme 'Greatest of all time' is counting down live on ABC Classic FM if anyone is curious to tune in and get a sample of what the Australian ABC Classic FM audience considers to be 'greatest of all time'.

Thanks for the great chart! It's fascinating seeing what's fallen out of favour since I started listening to Classic FM - there's a few there I'll go listen to when they finish the countdown for today. Will you update it after this year's count?

Works fine on the Firefox derivative I'm using.

Unfortunately FlightAware Enterprise doesn't get discounted API access.

The FlightAware API I was using (they have multiple) didn't provide all the data I wanted either. The ADSB Exchange Rapid API was more comprehensive, but came at a cost.

The aircraft don't broadcast everything over ADSB - so these sites are all pulling from a database somewhere else. It appears ADSB Exchange and some of the pi based UIs use the tar1090-db. This was easy to work with and free - just need to update it periodically due to registration changes.
