Every time a plane went over I wanted to know where it was going, so I built a card for it.

SkyWatch Card shows the nearest aircraft to your home as an LED departure board :

- Airline name lit in its own brand colour

- Where it departed from , where it's going and a calculated arrival time

- Callsign , aircraft type , registration , altitude , speed and distance

- Filter chips: LOCAL , COMMERCIAL , LIGHT , HELI and MIL ( HELI and MIL search much wider, because they're rarer)

- MAP button for a live map that switches light/dark at sunrise and sunset

- INFO button with a photo of that exact aircraft, credited to the photographer
