Show HN: Planes.fyi – 3D aircraft and airport visualizations
ryry Wednesday, December 17, 2025
Hey HN!
A long time ago I built a map of trains at trains.fyi, and then realized nobody had bought planes.fyi - so this is my new map project.
It's a bunch of things, but mostly, a 3D map of aircraft around given airports, as well as the weather, ATIS, and other data sources visualized in 3D and unique ways.
Like most of the stuff I build, it's got no real use, but I think it's neat. If you like planes, check out the CYYZ/KJFK map, weather, and runway tabs - I put the most work into that.
Also any feature requests, questions, comments, etc are always appreciated!
