We brought an antenna to Davos to track private airplanes, here's what we found

And what they found was... nothing? This is a strange article, you keep thinking they are going to tell you something interesting. And then they don&#x27;t. For example, they have a map showing that helicopters took the same routes: it&#x27;s almost as if people are flying to and from the same airports and there&#x27;s some sort of plan in place for where they fly. Who knew?<p><i>Chartering a helicopter flight from Zürich to Davos can cost as much as $10,000. We built our helicopter-tracking rig for under $200.</i><p>Is that supposed to be some weird juxtaposition?<p>Almost feels like this entire article is a justification for them being able to expense the cost of building an ADS-B set up.

Absolutely nothing of relevance? What a sad piece, this should have gone into the drawer or better as a sidenote in some actual reporting to keep others from wasting their time on it.

While clearly some of you folks don&#x27;t find it interesting, we found:<p>- The approximate volume of helicopter traffic that fly into and out of Davos, which was previously unknown<p>- The approximate number of helicopters that fly into and out of Davos, which was previously unknown<p>- The exact types of helicopters that were flying around Davos, which was previously unknown<p>This data also provide a benchmark for future analysis of and reporting on helicopter use patterns at Davos and elsewhere.

The title should indicate that the article focuses on private helicopters as opposed to other private aircraft.

We brought an antenna to Davos to track private airplanes, you wont believe what happened next.
