I just moved into 72nd Place on the FlightAware ADS-B global rankings, and am now the largest Australian feeder of ADS-B data for FlightAware.

Final ranking should be in the 50s, as there is still another week of ADS-B data to add, before I have a full months data supply for a more accurate average.

After 30 days of feeding ADS- B data to FlightAware, it looks like I should sit at about 54th in the global rankings, and the largest Australian contributor.

Hi Mark,

Are you listed twice in the FlightAware rankings (63rd and 169th places) ?

You look like ending up in the forties position wise, but like me, it will be hard to move forward from there with all the European and US competition.

Hi Graham

Yes they are both me. The second one is the laptop which only gets out occasionally.

Yes, we will never be able to compete with the Europeans or the US (or Middle East/Asia for that matter). It is a similar problem to the QF problem - we are at the "end of the line", so to speak :-)

Still, a lot of fun - I may speak to you about your DPD if you don't mind as we are having a loft extension planned and I would like to upgrade.

Cheers
Mark

Well done with the FlightAware rankings Mark, looks like you may get down to around 40th Place. The low 50's is where I look like ending up.

Hey guys,

I just saw your posts about FlightAware and am now feeding to it as well. Have you already created a feeding crew team that I could join?

Hi Henning

Not as yet, but might look to do so in the next few days, so will post here once set up.

Cheers
Mark
