AirNav RadarBox is pleased to announce the release of a new feature called Playback. The new feature has been added to the website as part of our constant effort to create practical new features to enrich our user's experiences on our web and mobile platforms.

With the RadarBox playback feature, you can travel back in time and replay the air traffic of a specific date and time in the past, within a 365-day period.
