Geolocation & aviation data

Sometimes the question is not who, but where and when: where a photo was taken, where a certain place is, or whether a flight really took off and landed as claimed.

I use open geographic sources and aviation data to identify locations and test claims against the data. Every finding is presented with its source.

The deliverable can support legal proceedings, the testing of an account, or any decision that depends on place and time.

When you need it

When clients come to me

  • When you need to find where a photo or video was taken
  • When a claim in a case depends on flight data
  • When you need take-off and landing information
  • When you need geographic research on a specific place

  • “Where was an image circulating online taken?”
  • “Did a specific aircraft take off and land at the times claimed?”
