Most flight trackers show you every plane in the sky at once — which is exactly the problem. Noise everywhere, signal nowhere.

What's actually interesting is a narrow slice: VIP transports, military tankers, government aircraft, and anything that suddenly deviates into airspace it normally avoids. That's the stuff plane spotters actually talk about — a call sign that shouldn't be where it is, a jet parked somewhere it never parks, a flight path that quietly threads around a no-fly zone.

I built SkyWatch Alerts around that one slice. Instead of a firehose of ADS-B data, you get pinged the moment something notable crosses into tracked premium or restricted airspace — then the community picks it apart in real time. It's the difference between watching a radar screen and actually knowing what you're looking at.

If you've ever caught yourself digging through FlightRadar24 at 1am trying to figure out why a random 737 is circling a military base, this is built for you.
