# Get a flight by ID

`GET /v1/flights/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://customer-api.wingbits.com`
- URL: `https://customer-api.wingbits.com/v1/flights/{id}`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Returns a single flight by its identifier, including current position and flight metadata. When the aircraft is no longer live but its recent track is still retained, returns `flight: null` with `hexId` and `lastPosition` (the last tracked point).
