Wind is the trajectory. Plan around it.
For drift balloons - hot air, research, weather - the wind field at altitude IS the flight path. AirVeto shows Open-Meteo wind at the exact altitude, time, and location so you can verify a drift path before launch or explain a recovery point after.
Recent cross-border balloon and aircraft incidents.
Recent reported incidents - the event location, the wind at the time where reconstructed, and links to primary sources. Each entry is its own page, with a deep link to the event location on the live map.
Larga paraglider, Moldova, 26 Oct 2026 - pilot asked asylum
A powered paraglider from Ukraine entered Moldova's airspace at 13:13 on 26 October 2026; border police found the pilot about 2 km inside Moldova, and he asked for asylum.
Kaunas airport balloon closure, Oct 24 - 2 flights diverted
Airspace restrictions over Kaunas Airport began at 23:37 local on October 24, 2026 after balloon-type navigation markers appeared; two flights were diverted.
Chi葯telni葲a drone, Moldova, 23 Oct 2026 - fell near a home
A drone crossed Moldova's airspace on 23 October 2026 and police found one in a field about 100 m from a home at Chi葯telni葲a; President Sandu called it a Geran.Who it's for.
Hot air balloon operators
Wind at the height you fly, not only at the surface: 5 km/h on the ground can be 35 km/h at 300 m. After a flight, the wind at your time and height explains a long drift, for incident or insurance records.
Research and weather balloon teams
Wind from 80 m to 7.2 km, hourly. Before a launch it shows the drift and recovery zone; after, where the payload went if telemetry dropped. Compare planned and actual drift across launches.
Defence and border programmes
Crossing point, height and time give a probable release zone. Applied to every documented incursion in the archive; see border monitoring.

- Your own data on the map: balloon GPS, recovery crews, launch sensors, via the custom data API.
- Invoice billing for institutions and the public sector.

Tell it what you need. It plans the map
Ask in plain words and it runs your map: it places radars, sensors, vehicles and markers, moves them as plans change, connects your own data feeds and checks the wind at 8 heights at each one. It briefs you; you decide.
