Daniel Baker, a software engineer and passionate pilot, noticed a problem while flying his Cessna 172: There wasn’t a good way for general aviation pilots to share their location with friends and family or other pilots.

So in 2005, at 22 years old, he started a side project to solve that problem. Word spread, and the software caught the attention of charter companies, corporate flight departments and small airports wanting to use his technology. Inundated by those requests, he formed Houston-based FlightAware, and what started as a flight tracking service has since become a global aviation data services company.
