Why spotters are switching
Everything the old sites made hard — made effortless, and yours. Built for the people doing the flying-line work, not the gatekeepers.
Published when the read settles
Add your photos. We identify the tail number, aircraft type, and airport. A photo can go on the site, including as Unidentified when no registration is found. If a detail needs you, it stays in Upload Studio.
You own it — delete anytime
Remove any photo, or close your account, yourself — no support ticket. It leaves the public site immediately. Cached copies can take up to 30 days to finish clearing.
Your file when the upload finishes
When an upload finishes, the archived file is the one you sent, unless you chose a smaller size in Upload Studio.
Credit on your uploads
Photos you upload keep your credit. Licensed and public-domain archive photos keep the author, license, and source they arrived with.
Hangar Talk community
A genuine spotter forum — self-moderating, with email notifications so threads don't go quiet. Real engagement, not a dusty message board.
Milestones, rare alerts & leaderboards
First-catch badges, rarity alerts, and airport leaderboards. Spotting that rewards you for showing up.
