Richard, since you just brought this up yesterday on the chat, I’m not sure if
anyone on board has had time to think about it. I, for one, have been building
rockets for ROCStock!
Are you concerned about commercial traffic or private/GA aircraft?

Thank you for the info James. I don’t think the ROC Board is interested in
this at the moment. I’m going to use the flightradar24 app that Andrew
suggested. It’s interesting just watching the air traffic.
And, no, I wouldn’t watch the screen during a whole launch. But, before I
launch a rocket of mine, yes, I would check the app first. And, I want to
learn more about what it has to offer.
Just check out air traffic around the Hawaiian Islands with the eruption on
Hawaii. Interesting stuff, but sorry, going OT.

I didn't spend the launch monitoring my screen at LDRS.
And ... I spotted 4 airliners in our area at LDRS (two UA, 2 AA), all at
FL30 above us.
Maybe you saw the ADSB setup that David brought to LDRS, similar but better
UI.
I keep mine under the table. I also modified the code to alert me when
something is within 4nm
of our launch site. I can give you the patch if you're interested.

Easy and cheap, and if you want to spend the entire launch sitting and
monitoring your screen.
ROCstock would be a great launch to test it.
See how much useful information you actually get and report back.
