This project is similar to wvu-flights, in that it uses data from multiple public records requests and computer vision strategies with OpenCV and Google Tesseract w/ pytesseract to compile a structured SQLite database with a website deployed to Cloudflare Pages to make the data accessilbe.
However, it differs in that live ADS-B data is used to track activity of state-owned aircraft in real-time with flight paths paired with flight itineraries where possible.
