Why it works
A unique gift for a boyfriend who loves planes, travel or gadgets
Mach 2 is a real LED flight tracker: a 64 × 32 full-color panel showing the aircraft above his home, a flight-number tracker, and an airport-style Departure Board. It is a working gadget and a good-looking desk piece at once, and it needs no app and no FlightTrackerLED device subscription.

Long distance
He can watch your flight on the way to him.
Individual Flight Tracker follows an airborne flight by number and shows its route, altitude, speed and status while you are in the air.
The aviation nerd
For the one who names the aircraft type out loud.
Overhead Scanner shows what is flying over his place right now, with the details he chooses in his owner portal.
Apartment or house
No roof antenna, no window view needed.
The display gets live aircraft data over Wi-Fi. How many planes he sees depends on how busy the sky is where he lives.
