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).

getAircraftFlights(aircraft, startTime, endTime, timeZone=Sys.timezone(), 
                   username=NULL, password=NULL, includeStateVectors=FALSE, 
                   timeResolution=NULL, useImpalaShell=FALSE, 
                   includeAirportsMetadata=FALSE, timeOut=60, maxQueryAttempts=1)

`aircraft`	string with the ICAO 24-bit address of an aircraft (for example, \"346190\" for Air Nostrum EC-NCD (ATR 72-600).
`startTime`	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\".
`endTime`	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\".
`timeZone`	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.
`username`	optional string with the username to use for authentication for the OpenSky API. By default, no authentication is performed.
`password`	optional string with the password to use for authentication for the OpenSky API. By default, no authentication is performed.
`includeStateVectors`	logical indicating if the set of state vectors for each flight should also be retrieved. By default, state vectors are not retrieved.
`timeResolution`	time resolution in seconds with which state vectors should be retrieved if `includeStateVectors=TRUE`.
`useImpalaShell`	logical indicating whether or not to use the OpenSky impala shell instead of the API to retrieve state vectors if `includeStateVectors=TRUE`. If used, the provided username and password are used for the ssh connection. By default, the impala shell is not used.
`includeAirportsMetadata`	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.
`timeOut`	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.
`maxQueryAttempts`	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.

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.
