This database is made available under the Open Database License: http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/.
What is it?
This database is a collection of all the data known to ADSB.lol, uploaded daily.
This includes data from ADSB.lol feeders and friends, FlyItalyADSB and TheAirTraffic.com
Technically
A dump of the /var/globe_history directory from adsb.lol planes containers.
Documentation for the format of the files can be found at wiedehopf's readsb
The planes containers serve adsb.lol. Prod is used, unless it is down then staging is used. There are two replicas of prod and one of staging.
These files are accessed by you when you visit the replay functionality, and are used to render traces.
The files are written by readsb and are stored in gzip compressed json format.
Releases
All files are downloadable from the releases tab of this repository.
See RELEASES.md for a formatted list of links.
Each release is 1 day of flight data. In the future, this data could be processed to provide for example 1 file per flight.

Acknowledgements
- The feeders, without people like you sharing their data, there would be nothiing to share. Together we make an open dataset of flight records for the public.
- The existing open source software, adsb.lol is not much more than a prod-ready configuration of readsb, tar1090, mlat-server.
- GitHub, for storing and serving open source / open data releases of aircraft flights history.
- Most other flight aggregators, with the exception of ADSBHub, OpenSky Network, for holding tight onto their data and giving me the motivation to show it is possible! :)
