Brand assets

Approved Celebplanes wordmark in the brand ink palette (#1A1612 / #EDE3CE / #C9A227 gold accent). Don't recolor or stretch.

Methodology

Tracks are derived from public ADS-B Mode S broadcasts via the ADSB Exchange feed — the same data air-traffic enthusiasts have shared for over a decade. Aircraft-to-celebrity attribution comes from the FAA registry, SEC proxy filings, and editorial research documented per-entry under /about. Long-form data sourcing and what we do/don't publish lives at celebplanes.com/methodology.

We do not track aircraft enrolled in the FAA Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) program where the operator has affirmatively requested obfuscation. Internationally-registered aircraft (LX-, M-, B-, VT-, VP-) are tracked the same way as US tails.

Press FAQ

Can I use Celebplanes data in my article without permission?

Yes, with attribution. The standard credit is "Celebplanes (celebplanes.com)" or a link to the specific page (e.g. the celebrity profile or the live map). For embargoed scoops, exclusive data exports, or fact-checking on a specific tail number, email [email protected].

Where does the underlying data come from?

Public ADS-B feeds (ADSB Exchange, ADSB.fi, FlightRadar24, airplanes.live) for live tracking, plus the FAA registry and equivalent state registries (Bermuda, Isle of Man, Cayman) for ownership. Each entry is hand-curated and source-cited internally.

How quickly do you reply to press inquiries?
