Retrieves the list of flights registered for a specified aircraft during a given time interval. The aircraft must be specified using its ICAO 24-bit address. Beginning and end times must be specified as date-time strings in any format that can be unambiguously converted to POSIXct (such as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS).

username=NULL, password=NULL, includeStateVectors=FALSE,
timeResolution=NULL, useTrino=FALSE,
includeAirportsMetadata=FALSE, timeOut=60, maxQueryAttempts=1)A list of objects of class openSkiesFlight, where each object
represents a flight that was performed by the specified aircraft during the
specified time interval. See the openSkiesFlight documentation
for details on the fields for the class.
string with the ICAO 24-bit address of an aircraft (for example, \"346190\" for Air Nostrum EC-NCD (ATR 72-600).
date-time string indicating the starting time of the interval for which flights should be retrieved. Must be in a format that can be unambiguously converted into POSIXct time. Valid examples are \"2011-03-27 01:30:00\" and \"2011/03/27 01:30:00\".
date-time string indicating the ending time of the interval for which flights should be retrieved. Must be in a format that can be unambiguously converted into POSIXct time. Valid examples are \"2011-03-28 01:30:00\" and \"2011/03/28 01:30:00\".
string with the name of the time zone for startTime and endTime. For details on supported time zones, see help(timezones). By default, the system time zone is used.
optional string with the username to use for authentication for the OpenSky API. By default, no authentication is performed.
optional string with the password to use for authentication for the OpenSky API. By default, no authentication is performed.
logical indicating if the set of state vectors for each flight should also be retrieved. By default, state vectors are not retrieved.
time resolution in seconds with which state vectors
should be retrieved if includeStateVectors=TRUE.
logical indicating whether or not to use the OpenSky
Trino query interface instead of the API to retrieve state vectors if includeStateVectors=TRUE. If used, the provided
username and password are used for the Trino connection. By default, the Trino interface
is not used.
logical indicating if the data about the origin and destination airports of each flight should also be retrieved. If not, only the ICAO24 code of the airports will be included.
number of seconds after which the query will time out and return a NULL result. In the default behavior, timeout will be reached after 60 seconds.
On rare occassions, queries to the OpenSky Network live API can return malformed responses. This is the maximum number of attempts to obtain a properly formatted response when carrying out the requested query. It should be noted that the query will still terminate if a timeout is reached. In the default behavior, a single attempt will be performed. It is not recommended to change this to a very large number, since it can lead to long running times.
