Fun. Planes over WOMO (npub1q68…jp0a) looks like a fun tool - suggest switching the order round, so it reads...
QF1890, a Qantas flight from Brisbane to Cairns, is passing overhead. It's an Embraer ERJ-190-100. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/QFA1890
... the most "interesting" data is the flight and where it is going, and arguably the type of plane lives further back in the update. And a tracking link would be fun (though I guess might kill the server you link it to, so there's always that)
The only gotchas I've found with running my tracker, on a Pi Zero, is that it sometimes stops for some reason, probably once a month or so. https://www.flightaware.com/adsb/stats/user/JamesCridland are my stats. My receiver is also quite deaf, partially because Mount Coot-Tha is in the way so I can't see past it, and also because my antenna isn't very good.
The other "gotcha" is that you need internet access to know almost all that info - your box will know its ICAO (a hex ident like 7C6DD8) and possibly its "ident" (QFA125).
