Welcome! I hope this is legal here on the IFC. Welcome to the Great Skycards challenge.
What is Skycards?
Skycards is the aviation version of Pokémon Go built by Flightradar24. In Skycards, you catch aircraft which surround you in a circle and build your deck. The aircraft’s which you catch have great detail, including the registration, a picture of the airport, where you caught it on your map, its route flying as well as date and time of catch.
My relation to Skycards
I first discovered Skycards when I saw an ad on a different game. I downloaded the game and caught my first ever plane on November 30th 2024 at 11 PM. Ever since then, I’ve taken the game all around the world, whether it’s real-life travelling or the travel function available in-game.
My challenge
Let’s get to the point, my challenge is to catch every aircraft in an airline’s fleet. I currently have not completed that yet, but am very close to accomplishing that goal with my home airline: LOT Polish Airlines.
Your co-operation
I currently only have a couple airlines in my spreadsheet. They include:
- Aegean Airlines
- AirBaltic
- Air Canada
- ANA
- Asiana Airlines
- Austrian Airlines
- Brussels Airlines
- Croatia Airlines
- Edelweiss
- Egyptair
- EVA Air
- Hawaiian Airlines
- Jet2
- KLM
- LOT
- Lufthansa
- South African Airways
- SWISS
- TAP
- Thai Airways
- Turkish Airlines
Now where you come in. You can request an airline for me to do and I’ll add it into my spreadsheet. Feel free to drop requests down below.
Mistakes
We’re all human , so we all make mistakes. If you catch anything fishy or unusual please report it to me
