Pribilof Traffic

Your central hub for tracking flights, and marine vessels in the Pribilof Islands

About Pribilof Traffic

Pribilof Traffic started as my personal hobby project to learn web development while solving a real need in our community. All the data comes from my own equipment (like ADS-B for flights and AIS for vessels) hosted by generous volunteers around the islands. The weather information is pulled from publicly accessible, verified sources that anyone can access.

This is my personal project - just one guy writing code, learning new stuff, and building something useful for our islands. I'm always tinkering with it and adding new features when I can.

Where's My Flight: Coming Soon - March 3, 2025

We're working on a new flight tracking application that will provide enhanced monitoring capabilities:

  • Monitor aircraft below 10,000 feet or departing
  • Multi-station tracking for departure/arrival verification
  • OpenSky Network API integration

This feature is currently in development and requires more data collection before full implementation. Stay tuned for updates!

AWOS Status Update - Feb 25, 2025

In an unprecedented stretch of downtime, St. George's AWOS system has now been offline for over 102 days.

The new status display aims to highlight the urgency of restoring these essential aviation weather services to the St. George community.
