Made the switch
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 in seconds — never rejected
Drag in your folder and every video goes live immediately, auto-tagged by tail number, type, operator, and airport. No screening queue. No rejection lottery.
You own it — delete anytime
Remove any video, 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.
Originals kept, full-res
We archive your originals untouched — never downsized. Download your own anytime, and let others request the full-res file straight from you.
Full credit + a real portfolio
Your name rides on every video. Get a spotter profile, a catch map, and a life list that actually shows off your flying.
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.
