Fleet: Planes You’ve Flown

Lovely app. If you like planes download now

This is a great companion app to flighty. This app is geared more towards the avgeeks that like to keep track of the planes they’ve flown on. I used to keep this information on a spreadsheet for my own records. This app not only keeps that information logged it shows me in real time where the planes I’ve been on are currently flying across the world. Planes I flew on with Virgin America (RIP) in the US are now flying for a low cost airline across Europe.I wouldn’t have known that had it not been for this app, pretty cool to see where these planes end up throughout their lifetime. My only complaint is that it only goes back to 2011. I have flights that go back to the early 2000s so there’s a mismatch between this app and my flighty logs.

Really cool app.

Just have one complaint - about 10 of my past flights do not automatically import on the app, and cannot be manually put in either. Other than that, it's amazing to see the planes all around the world!

Love this app. Extremely well done. I love the Flighty export, my only complaint is that it will only import flights in the last couple of years, I wish it would do all of them. I’m sure Therese a reason for that limitation but other than that, this app is awesome!

Esta aplicación ha cambiado completamente mi forma de pensar en lo que es el viaje aeronáutico. Coleccionar los distintos aviones en los que he volado se ha convertido en una obsesión diaria… ahora estoy comprando billetes de vuelo a lugares aleatorios: no viajo para el destino, si no para el avión.

I downloaded this app thinking it would just be another novelty, something I would open once, smile at for a minute, and then forget about. I was completely wrong. What started as curiosity turned into something surprisingly emotional, and the reason is simple. This app does something no other travel or flight app has ever made me feel before. It reconnects you to the exact planes that once carried you through some of the most important, painful, hopeful, and transitional moments of your life, and then it shows you where those planes are now. That sounds small until you actually experience it. Flying has always been deeply personal for me. Every flight in my life was attached to a reason. Leaving home. Coming back. Running toward something uncertain. Escaping something that hurt. Sitting in a cramped seat at 30,000 feet wondering if I was making the right decision or if I was about to mess everything up. Over time, those flights blurred together. Airports became generic. Planes became metal tubes. The memories stayed emotional but vague, like dreams you know mattered but cannot fully replay. This app changed that. The first time I opened it and saw the planes I had flown on and realized I could see exactly where they were in the world right now, it stopped me in my tracks. There is something deeply grounding about knowing that the same aircraft that once carried you during a turning point in your life is still out there, still flying, still moving people through their own moments. I found myself tapping into planes I flew years ago and just watching them. Watching one cross the Atlantic while realizing I once sat in that same cabin staring out the window, exhausted, anxious, and unsure of what awaited me on the other side. Watching another circle above a city I no longer live in and thinking about how different my life was when I boarded it. The live location turns memory into something alive. These are not static souvenirs. These planes did not freeze in time when you stepped off them. They kept going, just like you did. I did not expect an app to make me feel this reflective. Seeing where a plane is now makes the past feel connected to the present in a way that is hard to describe. It reminded me that moments I thought were endings were really just segments of a much longer journey. That flight I took after a breakup that felt like my world was collapsing. That early morning flight where I was terrified about a new job and pretended to sleep so no one would see my nerves. That rushed connection where everything felt chaotic and out of control. Those planes are still flying. They are still doing what they were built to do. And somehow that made me feel better about my own path. The app also changed how I think about travel moving forward. Now when I fly, I am more present. I pay attention to the plane, the route, the feeling of takeoff, because I know this will not just disappear into a blur. One day I will open the app and see where that exact aircraft is, and it will bring me right back. It makes flying feel less disposable and more meaningful. Less like a transaction and more like a chapter. What I appreciate most is that the app does not force emotion on you. It simply gives you the truth. These are the planes you trusted with your life. This is where they are now. What you do with that information is up to you. For me, it became a quiet reminder that movement is constant. Even when life feels stuck, things are still in motion. Even when you feel lost, there is a trajectory. I never thought watching a dot move across a map could make me feel emotional, but it does. Because that dot once carried a younger version of me who did not know how things would turn out. Seeing it still flying feels like proof that uncertainty does not mean failure. It just means you are mid-flight. This app is not just clever. It is comforting. It turns flying into something human again. It reminds you that your journey mattered, and that the vehicles that carried you through it are still out there, quietly doing their job, long after you stepped off. That idea stayed with me far longer than I expected, and I keep coming back to the app not out of habit, but out of something closer to gratitude.
