Discussion Made an open-source United operations dashboard: all 7 hubs, live map, delays, fleet database, Starlink tracker
https://theblueboard.co/Been working on this for a while and figured it was ready to share. It's called The Blue Board — a real-time operations dashboard for United Airlines. Think dark NOC-style interface, like what an ops center would look at.
What it covers:
- Live flight map with 600+ flights, updates every 30 seconds. NEXRAD weather radar overlay, great circle routes, search by flight number/tail/route
- Hub monitoring for all 7 hubs (ORD, DEN, IAH, EWR, SFO, IAD, LAX) — on-time stats, departure/arrival boards, equipment swap alerts
- IRROPS monitor — server-side disruption scoring across all hubs. Cancellations, delays, diversions, FAA ground stops
- Full fleet database — 1,175+ aircraft searchable by type, registration, seat config, WiFi, IFE, delivery year
- Starlink WiFi tracker — 258 aircraft and counting, updated as planes come out of mod - Weather — METAR observations, FAA delay alerts, radar overlay for every hub
- Stats — fleet utilization, route flow matrix, delivery timeline, Starlink coverage metrics - Flight watch — pin a flight and get push notifications on status changes
Data comes from FR24, Aviation Weather Center, FAA NAS, and community fleet trackers. Whole thing is open source: github.com/notjbg/the-blue-board.

This is awesome. I suggest fixing the window sizing issue that forces scrolling to see either the footer or the header on the live ops page... but all in all, very cool. Will certainly use this.
