Quickly identify the aircraft most likely to be in view. TRACK MY FLIGHT Search for a flight number and follow available route, status, altitude, speed, distance and ETA information. FAST JET ALERTS Receive available military and fast-jet notifications when traffic data indicates a relevant aircraft nearby. Wingman relies on third-party ADS-B and aviation data. Coverage and aircraft details vary by location and receiver availability. Wingman is for informational use only and is not a navigation, air traffic control or collision-avoidance system.
