Subject: [PATCH] fix(adsb): update Planespotters User-Agent to include contact
 URL
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Planespotters.net now requires a descriptive User-Agent with a contact
URL or email — generic strings return 403. Updated to comply with their
API policy.
