We are constantly looking for ways to support and appreciate our feeders for the vital role they play in our company. Monthly, we recognize one of our ADS-B feeders worldwide, telling their stories and experience as a RadarBox feeder.

This time, we will feature Alexis Marchais, our ADS-B feeders in Fours, a commune of 350 inhabitants in the Gironde department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, in southwestern France. Alexis has been feeding RadarBox with ADS-B data from central France since 2019.
