Your catches now tell their story. Every plane you log reads the register for THAT airframe: a States Passport stamps every state and province your catches call home, new badges for air-show planes, golden oldies, five-decade Time Travelers, Canadian and government aircraft (35 badges now), and Field Notes says "A local!" when a plane is based near you. New in the quiz: "Which plane has this shape?" rounds and a Master rank with the hints taken away. Three warbirds join the book. Planedex Plus adds the family logbook - everyone's catches in one list across the family's phones - and Household Challenges: send a five-round plane quiz to someone in the house to play on their own phone. Deep Dives now cover 70 aircraft.
