On Flightradar24 when you click on a plane it shows the brand and a picture which is my favorite thing. This doesn't happen on ADS-B unless I'm missing something.

Please don't just say ADS-B ... it's a protocol sent by aircraft. The website is called adsbexchange or ADSBX if you must have it shorter.
Once you've seen a certain number of aircraft photos ... not that interesting any more ... anyhow it's something we want to add.

We do show the type info in the details. Maybe click the + in the top left corner if the text is small.
Also it's just a slightly different target audience for slightly more technical people i believe ;)

My bad, I'll try to do better.

I have to correct my earlier, I have been using ADSB Flight Tracker Lite, and pulling data from ADSB-X servers.

ADSB Exchange's website is not the most mobile friendly, it can clog a screen, so I use another party's program for viewing the data.
Curious what program you use

I allowed my FlightRadar subscription to lapse after several years. The censoring of military, LE, and celebrity aircraft annoyed me too much.

They must have altered the programming then, but I don't care. ADSB X is a much better platform for me.

Frustrated. I'm trying tp play back the incident over Broomfield Colorado on 02.20.21 where the plane engine dropped debris onto the ground. It was United 328 and I think it was about 1230 local (1930 UTC). Has anyone here tried to do this?
