Introducing the FlightAware FlightFeeder Pro: A New Way to Track the Skies with FlightAware We're thrilled to announce a new addition to the FlightAware family: the FlightFeeder Pro! This new device is now available for purchase and offers a ready-to-run ADS-B receiver option for aviation enthusiasts and data feeders, building on the same trusted technology as our original FlightFeeder.
