Warflying
Warflying or warstorming is an activity consisting of using an airplane and a Wi-Fi-equipped computer, such as a laptop or a PDA, to detect Wi-Fi wireless networks. Warstorming shares similarities to Wardriving and Warwalking in all aspects except for the method of transport.[1][2]
It originated in Western Australia with the WaFreeNet group taking up a Grumman Tiger four-seater near Perth in August 2002.[1] It has also been done over Silicon Valley.[2]
Due to the nature of flying, it is much more difficult to attempt to access open networks while warflying.
