Also, if Max wants to make sure that there is nothing between him and the data transmitter in the plane, he could buy a personal ADS-B receiver and get the signal directly from the planes overhead.
For testing, it seems that some low-cost digital TV reception USB sticks can be used as ADB-S receivers:

Of course this does not rule out that a plane may be sending fake information, but it shouldn't be too hard to match passenger flight schedules from airport service websites (arrivals and departures) with the transmitted flight number, time and direction of a plane going by.
