Slowly But Surely

When Did I Become A-List, I Wasn’t Even on A List (until you click that JANET Airlines link)

This was supposed to be sent two weeks ago

While cleaning up files in my AEROSINT database (AEROSINT is a portmanteau I made up that combines Aerospace and OSINT), I realized how many curated dashboards I've created since starting this hobby a few years ago. Since I'm trying to reduce the friction between "idea for post" and "actually posting something," this post is simply a list of some of my favorite dashboards. All of the links direct to Crystal Peak, where I post my notes and "research," if you can call it that.

JANN Weekly(ish) will return, but I'm shifting the schedule to Mondays. I came across this idea recently, the reasoning being that posting on Mondays allows for time to work on posts over the weekend. I like this approach because, even though I'm fairly consistent with planning for assignments and tasks, something inevitably throws that plan off course. This is (definitely not) because I accepted a proposal to write a monthly column "with full creative freedom" for an established organization, knowing full well that I haven't been consistent with my own column. But before I start rambling about productivity systems and applications, let me give you what you've been waiting for, the links.

Tip!: To see the aircraft first navigate to Fleet section on the page, then tap the tiny arrow on the right of Tracker to see the embedded ADSBx viewer. Click or tap the “L” on the right hand side of the viewer to turn on labels. (this lets you see basic details for the aircraft next to its icon on the map)

• JANET Airlines - Yes, the least secret of “secret” airlines.

• Business Jets Of War - Many thanks to

  Bizjets of War
  for sharing his database to help populate this page (I received it months ago and am still adding aircraft from this incredibly detailed list).

• The Testbeds - Dexter’s Lab but in the sky.

• Aerial Survey - No this is not about ISR, thats what Intel Aviation is for. (I think…)

• Cargo Aircraft Management - Yes, that Amazon package you just ordered is probably in here.

Recently, there has been growing interest in my aviation and defense consulting work. I've been exploring ways to let supporters contribute meaningfully to this project. I was inspired by a YouTube channel where an enthusiastic Australian reviews e-waste and vintage tech. His model of charging subscribers $1 a month for enhanced access to himself and the community surrounding his work, has always appealed to me. Unfortunately, Substack does not offer similar capabilities.

However, that might be changing. If possible, I plan to implement a similar support structure here on Substack. For now, if you would like to support my work, you can Buy Me A Coffee.

Cheers,

JANN.
