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
