Now you may or may not be interested in bouncing your signals off Planes
but the software is pretty neat. It is used for spotting the planes and
where they are.

Scattering or reflecting radio signals off of objects in the sky is used
by radio amateurs to increase communications range whether they are
doing Meteor Scatter, EME, Aurora, Sporadic E, or other modes of
communication.
Aircraft can also be used to increase communications range, by using
Aircraft Scatter. Recently I became much more interested in Aircraft
Scatter when I learned that Rex Moncur VK7MO and David Smith VK3HZ have
completed Aircraft Scatter contacts of up to 842 km on 10 GHz and 462 km
on 24 GHz. Their paper describing these achievements is here
