I also recently found a use for my rpi 3b as well. I bought a $30 USB SDR Receiver [0] and started collecting ADS-B [1] data and uploading to ADS-B Exchange [2]. I have been collecting flight data for aircraft flying overhead for a few weeks now and it is super interesting to see what kinds of aircraft are flying around me. There are a lot more military planes that I would've expected.
