    Where can I view historical flight data on my ADSBx Pi feeder? Ideally I want to have it store the history locally for as long as possible so I can view it without having to use the globe map and on a per plane basis. I am looking for an aircraft that flew above my feeder a few days ago, I have no information about the aircraft, other than a date and time it was overhead...

    Thank you! I swear I saw that before, but I couldn't find it.

    How much data are we talking though? Like my Raspberry Pi 4B has a 128GB Sandisk Extreme Micro SD, only 9GB is used of the 128GB. And the maximum disk write speed was less than 2Mbit/s based on Graphs1090. So it can push alot more. Based on the math, couldn't i theoretically retain the ADSB logs?

    The adsbexchange image attempts to do no disk writes at all to avoid sd-card corruption in case of a power loss.

    If you want to save local data, you're pretty much on your own, maybe at some point i'll make something that's easy to install .... maybe not.

    You can check the tar1090 readme but i'll warn you that i don't support saving data, you're on your own.
