    Hello

    Is there a way to track multiple specific tail numbers. For example, three aircraft only, N12345, N98765, and N12020

    Thank you

    Absolutely. The first thing is to do a little homework and find the Mode S/hex code for each aircraft's transponder. This is below the picture of the aircraft in the top left. So for your (fake) example N12345 = A061D9 (nice accidental drone find BTW), N98765 = ADC86D, and N12020 isn't real haha.

    You can separate the ICAO Hex codes by "|"s in the filter field. Ex A061D9|ADC86D

    Or if you really like those tails and want to track them regularly you can build your own tracker link like below. Just seperate the icaos by commas instead.

    Wow, this is pretty cool.

    Does anyone know if there is a you can build a URL where you can specify a callsign, like PDT or XOJ? I know you can do it on the filter side, but I'm curious about the URL side.
