I am thinking about getting dad an Airspy stick and a Raspberry pi, we both love Flightradar24, and he has spoken about setting up a node in the network for them.

That’s a really interesting idea; my kid wants to be a pilot and just discovered flight tracker… I’m going to check out Airspy’s “how to” stuff and see about this as a gift idea too!

If you do get that and start submitting data to Flightradar24, you'll get a free top level account, at least that was true when I checked last time.

Just remember that you need an antenna as well...
