Where the data comes from
Flight tracks come from public ADS-B Mode S broadcasts, via adsb.lol with ADSB.fi as a backup. Air-traffic fans have shared this same data for over a decade. We match planes to celebrities using the FAA registry, SEC proxy filings and our own research, documented entry by entry on the about page. The full write-up on sourcing, and on what we do and don't publish, is at celebplanes.com/methodology.
We do not track aircraft in the FAA Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) program when the operator has asked for its identity to be hidden. Aircraft registered outside the U.S. (LX-, M-, B-, VT-, VP-) are tracked the same way as U.S. tails.
Press FAQ
Can I use Celebplanes data in my article without permission?
Yes, with credit. The standard credit is "Celebplanes (celebplanes.com)", or a link to the specific page, such as the celebrity profile or the live map. For embargoed scoops, exclusive data exports or a fact-check on a specific tail number, email press@celebplanes.com.
Where does the underlying data come from?
Live tracking comes from public ADS-B feeds: adsb.lol, with ADSB.fi as a backup. Ownership comes from the FAA registry and similar registries in places like Bermuda, the Isle of Man and the Cayman Islands. Every entry is checked by hand, and we keep the source on file for each one.
How quickly do you reply to press inquiries?
