Output was mostly this chart I added. But when copy and pastes over, this is what I got
Snapshot is from **2026-11-14 ~16:24 UTC** (`now`: 1794673490). The FAA ground stop started **2026-11-13 20:40 UTC**, so every contact still airborne in this feed is flying *after* the stop. Of 152 total, roughly **~110 are airborne**; the rest are on the ground, towers, or stale Mode-S ghosts.
## Standouts (high-interest airframes)

|---|---|---|---|
| **SHARK50** wait — **SCOUT01** | **E-3G Sentry (AWACS)** 82-0006 | Oklahoma, 21.8k ft, climbing | Airborne early warning — not a training hop |
| **adfeb5** (no callsign) | **E-4B Nightwatch** 74-0787 | Alabama, FL350, heading NNW | NAOC "doomsday" command plane. Very notable during a comms-related ground stop |

## On the ground (not "in the air after the stop")
- **VADER08** C-130 — Las Vegas (Henderson), taxiing
- **THNDR47 / THNDR02** USAF motorgliders — Arizona (one just landed)
- **SMOKEY1** UH-60 — NC, rotors stopped
- Dutch A330 (MMF41), Qatari A320 (555), CONGO63 Twin Otter — parked
- All the `TWR` / `TEST1234` / `Miscode` entries — ignore, they're receivers/ground vehicles/bad decodes
## Caveats
- This is a **live snapshot**, so "after the stop" here means *currently airborne*, not a full history of everyone who launched Friday night.
- `seen_pos` is seconds-ago, not an absolute takeoff time — several contacts (GOLEM21, ae6912, G21279, G20798) are 40–50 s stale.
- LADD/PIA aircraft won't show; military on this feed is generally unfiltered, so coverage is good but not complete.
Want me to rank these by "least expected during a ground stop" (E-4B, AWACS, U-28A, ATHENA-R first), or filter to a specific region?
