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.
It originated in Western Australia with the WaFreeNet (WAFN) group taking up a Grumman Tiger four-seater near in 2002, as documented on the weblog of Jason Jordan
Due to the nature of flying, it is much more difficult to attempt to access open networks while warflying.
