After finally getting my API set up on my local device, I created my final react web app. It took me a few searches to identify what library to use so that I could have an interactive map as the base map as well as different components for my project. Initially, I just used the default markers that was in leaflet to represent the different flights. I was able to access the latitude and longitude variables for the flights from the API url, using the .map function to loop through all the JSON data in the API and access all the flights. They were then plotted on the leaflet map using the default markers.
