# Air OSINT

Tracking the real-time movement and ownership of private aircraft.

Sites/Tools:

* FAA Registry to find the official registered owner (trustee) of a tail number.
* FlightRadar24 and AirNav Radar for general tracking (though celebrities often block their data here).
* Plane Logger for crowdsourced historical data on plane ownership.
* ADSB Exchange for viewing live movement and flight history (Aspen, etc.) without the same privacy restrictions as other trackers
