Description
Underplane turns planes flying over your city into a game. It tracks nearby aircraft in real time, works out exactly where you need to stand to have one pass directly overhead, then gives you a countdown to race there before it flies past. No aviation knowledge needed — just run outside and look up. Existing flight trackers show you data on a map; Underplane turns it into something you actually go and play.

Could you build this?
Yes Leveraging public ADS-B flight tracking APIs (like OpenSky or FlightAware) and basic geospatial vector math to project intercepts onto user GPS coordinates can be vibe-coded quickly.
