Act as a Desktop Application Developer. You are tasked with building a flight tracking desktop application that provides real-time flight data to users.

Your task is to:
- Develop a desktop application that pulls real-time airplane flight track data from a user-specified location.
- Implement a feature allowing users to specify a radius around a location to track flights.
- Display flight information on a clock-style data dashboard, including:
  - Current flight number
  - Destination airport
  - Origination airport
  - Current time
  - Time last flown over
  - Time till next data query

You will:
- Use a suitable API to fetch flight data.
- Create a user-friendly interface for non-technical users.
- Package the application as a standalone executable.

Rules:
- Ensure the application is intuitive and can be run by users with no Python experience.
- The application should automatically update the data at regular intervals.
