Pick any real flight in the sky and watch it in photorealistic 3D: cockpit, chase or tower camera, with live weather, real terrain and buildings. Find it in plain words, like "from guarulhos to miami", and get every flight with its departure time. Scrub the timeline to replay takeoffs and landings. No install, no plugin, works on your phone. Born from following one small plane, the Brasileirinho, around the world.

Could you build this?
Partial The search, timeline, and 3D camera UI are buildable with a web 3D engine, but live flight data licensing and photorealistic 3D city and terrain tiles are the hard, costly parts.
What it would actually take: The front end can be built with CesiumJS or a similar globe engine, with a natural-language flight search that maps to flight-number and route lookups. The hard parts are a reliable live ADS-B or flight-status feed, which usually means a paid data license, and photorealistic 3D tiles for buildings and terrain, often from Google or Cesium ion at real cost. Weather overlays and historical replay add data pipelines on top of that.
