How 16right ADB-S has proven how you can see what registered aircraft and airlines have flown to your airport.
16right is a website founded by Graeme Hutchinson, who is a Sydney Airport photographer who takes planes, and tracks aircraft. He has his domain of photos of aircraft that has flown to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport in Sydney, Australia. These help to identify different emergencies, and different accidents that have taken place at Sydney Airport, but also to keep track of any plane (with the registry and make) that will be serving Sydney Airport. 16right has recorded a lot of data for Sydney Airport. 16right is an example of airline/aircraft search. 16Right is the most useful website I have been on since I have probably created a lot of things on there too
