Why it works
A gift for a grandpa who has everything
Grandpas who have everything still have time to watch the sky. Mach 2 shows the aircraft over his home on a full-color LED panel in solid maple, follows any airborne flight by number, and has an airport-style Departure Board. Once it is set up, it simply runs.

Retired pilot or airline lifer
For the one who still knows the call signs.
Individual Flight Tracker follows an airborne flight by number with its route, aircraft type, altitude, speed and status.
The window watcher
For the grandpa who notices every contrail.
Overhead Scanner puts the plane he just heard on a display beside him, with where it is going and how high it is flying.
Shared with the grandkids
Something to look at together on visits.
Kids who love planes get a live answer to “where is that one going?”, and grandpa gets to tell them about the airports on the screen.
Not a tech person?
The family sets it up once.
Setup runs from a phone over the display’s own Wi-Fi hotspot with no app, so a family member can do it on a visit. The maker helps directly if anything gets stuck.

Common questions
Gift questions
Something he can enjoy every day. The Mach 2 shows the live planes over his home on a solid maple LED display, so there is always something new to look at and talk about with visitors.
Once it is set up, it runs by itself and shows the flights overhead. Setup runs from a phone over the display’s own Wi-Fi hotspot with no app, so a family member can do it on a visit, and the maker helps directly if anything gets stuck.
Yes. It shows real aircraft from live ADS-B data, and Individual Flight Tracker follows an airborne flight by its flight number with the route, aircraft type, altitude, speed and status.
Yes. ADS-B coverage is worldwide, so the display works anywhere with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. It ships worldwide for a flat $60; import duties may apply depending on the country.
