Summary :
Sweeney, a University of Central Florida sophomore who also writes software for UberJets, controls 30 Twitter accounts that track the private jets of billionaires, celebrities and Russian oligarchs.
The accounts, which started popping up in June 2020, automatically publish flight coordinates from code that Sweeney wrote to pull data from public websites like ADS-B Exchange, which post the location, altitude and speed transmitted by every federally regulated aircraft.
“I believe [Jenner’s short flight] was for parking the aircraft in Camarillo, while they get off at Van Nuys,” Sweeney tweeted last week.
Just don’t expect any major updates in the coming months: Sweeney says he’s spending the summer traveling and working, and won’t expand his code — primarily by adding more jets to his project — until he returns to campus this fall.
