Context

During the build-up to the Ukrainian invasions, I wrote an API to pull down data every minute from the OpenSky API for a geofence around the Ukraine (42.0, 56.5, 20.74, 46.6) and started collection of flight data in Ukrainian airspace on 2/22/2022. This data set is being continuous collected and will updated daily until I can set up automated upload.

Content

The data contains ICAO 24-bit code, callsign, origin country, time, last contact time, longitude, latitude, barometic altitude, a boolean if the aircraft is one the ground, velocity, heading, vertical_rate, sensors, geo_altitude, squawk, spi, and position source.
