The Owl’s Nest Fully Renovated
Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2026 3:15 amOver the past several weeks, I have completely renovated The Owl’s Nest.
A brand‑new airport database with 80,000 records now forms the foundation of the site. It powers the Airport Search, the Airports Database, and the Airport Distance Calculator. The distance calculator now optionally includes two intermediate stops in its calculations.
The Flight Traffic Radar has been switched from Flightradar24 to ADS‑B.
All pages that rely on tabular data—such as the Military Aircraft Database, the Military AI Aircraft Database, the Military FSX & P3D AI Model Database, and the MAIW Package Database—now use a modern and unified table design.
I am particularly pleased with the picture preview on hover over the Wikipedia link in the Military Aircraft Database.
The Download Center has been integrated into the site’s design and no longer opens externally.
In the Photo Gallery, I showcase photos I’ve taken at various airshows.
All other pages have received smaller updates. Visually, the entire site has been modernized while preserving its original style.
I hope you enjoy the improvements and notice the overall increase in quality. Looking forward to your visit!
