How to identify and track military aircraft in online applications

It is surprisingly easy to track what is flying above you, but there are limits - you will still see only what the military wants you to see.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/24/2023 - 14:40 in Military

The system, known as ADS-B, allows you to quickly search for what is flying in your vicinity, or even on the other side of the world.

In the past, before the 2000s, people looked at the sky and saw the trail of condensation created by commercial and military jets at high altitudes and wondered what would be the aircraft that passed over our heads, where it was going, where it came from. Today, thanks to a worldwide transponder system, you can track even U.S. military aircraft.

About a decade later, it was already possible to follow commercial aircraft, knowing which airline, flight level, speed and route taken by the flights, being able to accurately follow the arrival of a plane at the airport.

Currently, equipped with a smartphone and with a particular app or website, we can find all this and much more.

Civil aviation authorities around the world began to implement Automatic Transmission of Dependent Surveillance (ADS-B) in the early years. The ADS-B is an aircraft-mounted transponder system that transmits a variety of information in real time, including the location, speed, direction of the aircraft and a unique transponder code for each aircraft. This information, plotted on a map, gives pilots and ground controllers the ability to quickly get a sense of the local airspace (or the airspace of most places on Earth).

Transponder signals can also be captured by cheap terrestrial receivers that amateurs, aviation enthusiasts and others can build for less than $100 using widely available hardware and software, some of which can be obtained on flight tracking sites.

Movement of aircraft tracked by the ADS-B Exchange around the world.

As of 2021, ADS-B transponders are mandatory in the USA, Europe, Australia, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, South Africa, Taiwan and Vietnam, and the system is being implemented in China, Canada and Saudi Arabia.

In the United States, almost every type of aircraft - from commercial aircraft and small private aircraft to military fighters, helicopters, bombers, tankers, information-collection aircraft, transport, special operations aircraft, drones and even VIP aircraft carrying the president and members of Congress - are required to transpose into controlled airspace.

A screenshot of the online flight tracking site ADS-B Exchange showing a snapshot of military flights in the United States on July 18 of this year on the ADS-B Exchange.

The information is not only available to the aviation community. The ADS-B Exchange website gathers aircraft tracking data and makes it available in real time, allowing anyone to track air traffic anywhere the system is working.

Unlike FlightRadar24.com or FlightAware.com - which rely on flight tracking data streams provided by the FAA and other international aviation authorities or obtained from Aireon's global ADS-B air traffic surveillance and tracking network, as well as ground-based ADS-B receivers - ADSBExchange.com relies on thousands of independently owned ground-based ADS-B receivers and multilayer devices, or MLAT.

MLAT receivers in groups of three or four in a small geographical area use triangulation to track aircraft. In other words, if an aircraft is not using ADS-B for transponder as military aircraft sometimes do, MLAT receivers can still capture their S-Mode transponder signals and establish a position and tracking for an aircraft, as well as altitude and speed data.

The network of receivers of the ADSBExchange.com website includes 10,000 MLAT devices worldwide. As it does not collect flight tracking data from government or commercial sources, it may offer "unfiltered" flight tracking.

ADS-B Exchange merges ADS-B data with other publicly known data on military and civilian aircraft around the world. Individual aircraft are plotted on OpenStreetMap - a free geographical database of the world - represented by color-coded icons according to altitude. The icons range from individual autostos and Cessna 182 to four-engine Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 civil aircraft. Military icons include U-2, KC-135 Stratotankers, C-17 Globemaster III, C-5M Super Galaxy, V-22 Ospreys and so on, although fighters are often represented by a more generic icon model of swept wing and stuffy nose.

A click on the icon includes spatial information, including ground speed, altitude and location, ADS-B signal strength and other data. It also includes the registration of the aircraft, the country of registration and adds a photograph or thumbnail of the aircraft when possible.

All this means that, with the click of a button, you can instantly find out what is flying near you.

Although aircraft tracking has long been a niche hobby among aviation enthusiasts who like to catalog the comings and goings of aircraft, the public availability of transponder data in mid-air also offers journalists, researchers and other observers an effective means of tracking the movements and activities of the planes of the richest and most powerful in the world. The aggregation and analysis of public flight data shed light on the CIA's torture flights, the movements of the Russian oligarchs, and Google's friendly relationship with NASA.

Flights from ISR platforms tracked in the Ukraine region for a period of one month, at the end of last year.

More recently, these tracking techniques have gained international attention after attracting the wrath of Elon Musk, the richest man in the world. After buying social media giant Twitter, Musk banned an account that shared the movements of his private jet.

Despite repeated promises to protect freedom of expression - and a specific promise not to ban the @ElonJet account - on the platform, Musk censored anyone who shared the whereabouts of his plane, claiming that the data obtained entirely legally and totally public was equivalent to "murder coordinates".

A Global Hawk flown remotely with the indicater FORTE12 was the last aircraft tracked over Ukraine before the invasion of Russian forces and the closure of the country's airspace to civilian air traffic, according to the global flight tracking service Flightradar24.

Soon after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a US Global Hawk, with the indication FORTE12, was followed almost daily by thousands of people on the Flighradar24 platform.

Publicly available flight tracking data is a growing problem for the U.S. military, a senior Pentagon official said recently.

Sites such as ADSBExchange.com, FlightRadar24.com and FlightAware.com aggregate flight data in the United States and abroad using a combination of commercial and citizen-owned sensors that capture the movements of commercial, civil and military aircraft in real time, 24 hours a day.

"The Department of Defense considers open source flight tracking and data aggregation on our aircraft a direct threat to our ability to conduct military air operations around the world," the U.S. Air Force said.

An F-35 fighter was tracked in the Flightradar 24 app earlier this year, during a flight near Phoenix, Arizona.

Aggregated by websites and retransmitted on social media accounts, the data can be a free source of intelligence for nation-states, terrorist groups or individuals, revealing everything from operational movements of aircraft, aviation units and troops to training standards, development test flights and the movements of government officials, experts said.

This image shows a Beechcraft King Air configured for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions in the military aviation field of Baledogle, Somalia, in 2021. The U.S. civil registration code on the side was not assigned to any specific aircraft at the time and its exact operator remains unknown. However, this is very much in line with the types of aircraft that JSOC allegedly operates clandestinely and that would be interested in hiding the activities through the proposed aircraft flight profile management database tool.

Therefore, military aircraft routinely transmit their ADS-B data, but have the option to turn it off when necessary. The Pentagon is well aware that aviation enthusiasts - and potential opponents - monitor ADS-B data and that aircraft turn off transponders when they do not want anyone to observe them. Often when following the aircraft they simply disappear abruptly from the map.

The U.S. military is also known to use fake hexadecimal codes, which identify a transponder as belonging to a specific aircraft, to help mask certain sensitive flights. For example, the U.S. Air Force VC-25A Air Force One jet that transported President Donald Trump to Afghanistan in 2019 electronically disguised itself for a time as a KC-10 Extender tanker in this way.

As a particularly notable and relevant example of tracking high-profile U.S. military flights, the U.S. Air Force C-40 Clipper aircraft that transported Nancy Pelosi, then a representative of the Democratic Party in California and mayor, to Taiwan last year was visible online, despite concerns that the Chinese military might try to forcibly prevent the flight from reaching the island or harassing it otherwise.

This flight, which used the SPAR19 indicative, was one of the most tracked of all time in terms of total simultaneous users monitoring it on the popular website FlightRadar24, and ended up taking down the app for a period of time.

The Ghostrider trail on the night between November 20 and 21, 2023, on Radarbox.com.

In mid-November, something new happened: a U.S. aircraft involved in combat apparently left its ADS-B on, and did so intentionally. An AC-130J Ghostrider attack aircraft carried out an airstrike against a target that had launched a missile attack against U.S. forces at Al Assad Air Base in Iraq. The AC-130 gunship has a variety of weapons, including 30mm and 105mm cannons, and precisely guided bombs and missiles, and usually flies in lazy circles above its target, pouring firepower on the targets below. In Al Assad's retaliatory air attack, according to The Aviationist website, the Ghostrider involved apparently kept his transponder on all the time, drawing large circles on the ADS-B map and it was possible to be seen on the Radar Box website.

In Brazil, it is possible to track several military aircraft in aircraft tracking applications, including the most widespread Flightradar24. Next, you can see the KC-390, C-130 Hercules transport aircraft or T-27 Tucano coaches in flight near the Air Force Academy. The FAB has hidden data from the presidential aircraft A319 (VC-1) and E190 (VC-2) on these sites.

FAB T-27 Tucano aircraft are often seen flying near Pirassununga, AFA headquarters.

More recently, it was possible to follow the flights of the Brazilian Air Force that went to seek refugees and Brazilian citizens who were and Israel and the Gaza Strip. The KC-30 and KC-390 aircraft could be tracked in real time on the tracking platforms.

If you are a fan of military aircraft or just like to know what is happening when you hear the noise of aircraft engines, ADS-B is a free and reliable tool that you should use to track and identify planes. Observing fighters, spy planes and transport coming and going can help you get to know your armed forces. Just keep in mind that, at least when it comes to military flights, you will only see what the military wants you to see.

BONUS

From Christmas Eve, the flight tracking site Flightradar24 will be keeping an eye on Santa Claus and his reindeer Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen as they accelerate around the world.

Initially tracking Santa Claus was a challenge, but thanks to an ADS-B transponder installed a few years ago and the reindeer horns functioning as an additional antenna, Flightradar24 uses a mixture of terrestrial and satellite ADS-B coverage to track Santa Claus during his busiest night of the year.

To follow the good old man, go here.

If any of you are into travel and live in central Europe: there's laughably cheap flights to South Africa (as well as Seychelles, Mauritius, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Uganda) from Paris in spring

[jellogram]

Whenever I see those posts that are like "I can't travel because I can't afford a $2,000 plane ticket" I'm like... yes traveling is expensive and it's incredibly frustrating how inaccessible it is for most people. However. Most plane tickets are not $2,000. That is ridiculously expensive for a plane ticket. If you live in the US, the only places that usually cost that much are Australia/Oceania, mainland China, and sub-Saharan Africa. Maybe a few other places that aren't frequently visited by tourists, like Central Asia.

Tickets from the west coast of the US to Europe are around $600 round trip but you can find cheaper ones. From the east coast it's around $300-400. Most places in South America run around $400, less for the northern regions. Most of the Caribbean is around $300-400. Asia is more expensive but you can get flights to India in the $700s and Japan in the $800s.

Coast-to-coast US travel is typically around $200-$300. All these numbers are round trip and include baggage.

And if you live in Europe, traveling to Asia, Africa, and inter-Europe is all waaaaay cheaper than these prices.

Still expensive and not possible for a lot of people, don't get me wrong, but I see people throw out ridiculous numbers. Most of my job is searching for flight deals so I'm extremely familiar with these rates and it kills me when people say a flight to France from the US costs like $1500, because no the fuck it doesn't. So if you've been discouraged by those kinds of numbers, rest assured they're completely wrong and hmu if you need help finding cheap flights or any other flight advice because like I said, I am literally paid to do this.

That last comment ^

As a side note, there are borders in the UK that are closer than France. Ireland, Wales and Scotland are right there. While there are some cultural commonalities, they are distinct countries with their own cultures and so on.

I think the big thing that a lot of people don't realise is how young Europeans tend to leave their country. To give an example, here's some of my youthful travel history.

As an English kid, I was one of the last in my class to have left the country. I was maybe 9? Family holiday to Cyprus. It was the first time my Dad had left the country. He was in his thirties at the time. This stuff is very heavily influenced by class - he grew up working class and me and my sisters grew up sort of lower middle class/working class. By the time I finished primary school, we'd been to Spain and Tunisia, as well. Most kids my age had been going abroad for years at that point, even if it was only on cheap package deals to tourist spots that cater to Brits abroad. Even then, however, my primary school organised student trips to Wales, which is, again, another country.

My secondary school organised trips to Europe each year after the first - alternating between France and Germany. So year 8 was France, Year 9 was Germany, Year 10 was an exchange with a French school, and Year 11 was an exchange with a German school. I knew a lot of kids who could afford all four, but my family couldn't. So I did the year 8 France trip and the year 11 German exchange. There were yearly skiing trips to various destinations, but I never went on those.

They also organised trips to North and South America, when I was in sixth form, assuming you chose the appropriate subjects to study (ie: 18) - I attended one of each, so I had a week in San Francisco with my sociology class, and two weeks in Honduras, helping at a conservation camp in the rainforest, and learning to dive off the coast with my biology class. My younger sister had a trip to Beijing with her sociology class at the same school. My uncle (also at the same school) visited Moscow on a politics class trip before the Iron Curtain fell. There was also a biology research trip to the Isle of Man that I attended. (Which is a self governing crown dependency, which means that it isn't part of the UK, but does share a monarch with us, while also not being its own sovereign state, but having its own laws and so on. It's complicated and I don't understand it at all, but I needed my passport to travel there, so it counts as 'another country' functionally.)

Later, my undergraduate degree required me to live in both Germany and the Netherlands for half a year. I studied languages, and that was, at the time, a standard required part of the university curriculum in Europe. (I'm not sure how Brexit has affected it these days, but I'm certain it isn't for the better.)

Here's the kicker, though: for pretty much the entirety of my childhood, I wasn't as well travelled as most of my friends. To this day, I'm less well travelled than many of my peers because I haven't visited Asia or Australia, or any part of Africa south of Tunisia or Morocco. (though not for lack of trying - we had a trip to Japan planned before covid and my cousin in law's Australian wedding that both fell through, unfortunately.)

The point I'm getting at is, even if it's only for a week every other year, the ability to travel somewhere with different currency and language and cultural norms as a little kid? And have that be normal? And have some small exposure to different ways of living? What that does for your developing brain and (hopefully, if you aren't being a racist/colonialist prick about it) your way of seeing the world is utterly invaluable.

I wish more Americans had those sorts of opportunities. You've (theoretically, given money for a flight, or gas) got access to different biomes and subtly different cultures, but there isn't a state where people flat out don't/aren't encouraged to believe in standard American values. They make all of you recite that damn pledge daily in schools FFS. It's fucked up, and you all deserve better working conditions and affordable travelling costs to help enable that.

Not to sound like a complete hippy, but travel really does broaden your mind and your horizons, even if it's only in tiny increments.

since moving here ive noticed europeans have no concept of how few americans ever leave USA. every american tourist youve met is of an economic crust that is vastly unobtainable to the other like. 85% generously. no matter what you have believed i can guarantee this. even getting to canada isnt really a possibility and the mexico-US border is highly controlled and militarized.

to put it into perspective. a ~2 hour flight from london to warsaw is like. 30 to 45 USD?

and a 2 hour flight from one US city to another would be about 130 USD

it was very cheap to fly here. i make over 100k USD now and i dont know if ill ever be able to afford leaving. if that gives you an idea of how prohibitive travel is here. i havent even touched on how the US has Zero guaranteed holidays by the govt. many people here go years without ever having an entire week off of work

this has had a like. massive impact on American Brain and they dont even know it because travel isnt even a consideration economically. they dont even know how much more vacation time european countries have guaranteed

Book cheap flight tickets and hotels- https://trailtravelz.com/

Planning a wildlife tour can be exhilarating, but booking flights that align with your adventure can often be challenging. Whether you're heading to the savannas of Africa or the rainforests of South America, here’s a comprehensive guide on how to book flights for a wildlife tour that ensures a seamless journey from takeoff to touchdown.

Research Your Destination

Begin by researching your destination’s peak wildlife viewing seasons. Understanding the best times to visit can help you snag affordable flights and witness nature at its most vibrant. For instance, safaris in Africa might be best during the dry season, while bird-watching in Costa Rica peaks during specific migration months.

Flexible Travel Dates

Flexibility is key when booking flights for a wildlife tour. Use flight comparison websites that allow you to view fares across an entire month or even a year. Often, adjusting your travel dates by a few days can lead to significant savings, which you can then allocate towards enhancing your wildlife experience.

Direct vs. Connecting Flights

Consider the trade-offs between direct and connecting flights. Direct flights minimize travel time and reduce the risk of missing connections, ideal for wildlife tours where timing is crucial. On the other hand, connecting flights might offer cost savings or provide opportunities to explore additional destinations en route to your wildlife adventure.

Airline Partnerships and Rewards Programs

Explore airline partnerships and frequent flyer programs that could earn you miles or points for future travel. Some airlines offer specific wildlife tour packages or partnerships with conservation organizations, providing unique travel experiences while supporting wildlife preservation efforts.

Packing Essentials for Wildlife Tours

When booking flights, consider the baggage policies and pack accordingly. Wildlife tours often require specialized gear such as binoculars, camera equipment, and lightweight, breathable clothing suitable for outdoor excursions. Check the airline’s restrictions and allowances for carrying wildlife observation equipment.

Booking Tips and Resources

Utilize online travel agencies, which often offer competitive prices and comprehensive search filters tailored to wildlife enthusiasts. Additionally, consider booking directly with airlines to take advantage of exclusive deals or promotional offers specifically tailored to wildlife tour destinations.

Conclusion

Booking flights for a wildlife tour involves careful planning and consideration of factors such as destination seasons, travel flexibility, flight routes, and packing essentials. By leveraging these tips, you can ensure a smooth journey that maximizes your wildlife viewing opportunities and enhances your overall travel experience.

Research the best times to visit these destinations to ensure optimal wildlife viewing opportunities. Each region has its peak season, typically during the dry months when animals congregate around water sources.

2. Find the Nearest Airports

Once you’ve selected your destination, identify the nearest international airport. For example:

Kenya: Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi

Tanzania: Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR)

South Africa: OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg

India: Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) in Delhi or Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) in Mumbai

Check if there are smaller regional airports closer to your safari location. Sometimes, taking a connecting domestic flight from a major international hub can save you travel time.

3. Compare Flight Prices

Use flight comparison websites like Skyscanner, Kayak, or Google Flights to compare prices from different airlines. Be flexible with your travel dates and consider booking your flight during the mid-week for potentially lower fares. Set up price alerts to monitor fluctuations and book when prices drop.

4. Check for Airline Alliances and Frequent Flyer Programs

If you are a member of a frequent flyer program or a credit card rewards program, check for any alliances between airlines that might offer you better deals or added benefits. Accumulating miles on partner airlines can also lead to future travel savings.

5. Consider Layovers and Stopovers

Direct flights are convenient but can be more expensive. Consider flights with layovers or stopovers if you are looking to save money. Some airlines offer free or discounted stopovers in their home cities, which can give you an additional destination to explore at no extra cost.

6. Check Baggage Allowance and Other Fees

When comparing flight prices, consider the baggage allowance and any additional fees that might apply. Safaris often require specific gear and clothing, which can increase your baggage weight. Make sure the airline's baggage policy aligns with your needs to avoid unexpected costs.

7. Book Well in Advance

Flights to popular safari destinations can fill up quickly, especially during peak travel seasons. Book your flights as early as possible to secure the best rates and availability. Aim to book at least six months in advance for international flights.

8. Purchase Travel Insurance

A wildlife safari is an adventurous trip, and unforeseen circumstances can occur. Invest in comprehensive travel insurance that covers flight cancellations, delays, lost luggage, and medical emergencies. Make sure your policy includes coverage for safari-related activities.

9. Coordinate with Your Safari Tour Operator

Before finalizing your flight booking, coordinate with your safari tour operator. They may offer advice on the best arrival and departure times, airport transfers, and additional travel tips specific to your safari itinerary.

10. Prepare for Your Flight

Once your flights are booked, prepare for your journey. Confirm your reservations, check visa requirements, get the necessary vaccinations, and pack appropriately for the safari. Arrive at the airport early to avoid any last-minute stress.

Conclusion

Booking flights for a wildlife safari requires careful planning and consideration of various factors. By choosing the right destination, comparing flight prices, and coordinating with your tour operator, you can ensure a smooth start to your safari adventure. With these tips, you'll be well on your way to experiencing the thrill of the wild.

6 Things Do While Booking Tickets for Flights to Bangkok From London

If your next international vacation destination is Bangkok then, scan some of the quickest hacks to grab exciting deals on the flights to Bangkok from London for any class you wish to fly. Bangkok, similar to Bali, Singapore, Miami or Dubai is an incredibly popular tourist destination driving thousands of international vacationers down the line. Soon after the pandemic, the urge for international vacationing increased more than before despite the usual business trips and so on.

Your priority will be to beat the rush by pre-booking the first-class, business-class or economy flight tickets round-ways or one-way at quite a cheap rate.

Here are the six things to do while booking tickets for flights to Bangkok from London—

Start with Online Flight Search 

Whether you plan for a Caribbean beach vacation or enjoy your long-haul holiday at the sprawling beaches of Miami- start checking out the available flights to Miami from London in the same way you will search for the airline companies offering flights to Bangkok on the expected dates.

Presently, the top search engines provide flight-searching options. Categorized as one of the simplest international flight searching tools, these online platforms offer the most accurate and cheap flight to Bangkok to flights to Australia from London or any other destination that you search for.

Pre-book international flights online

Among countless features, you can also book international flight tickets 11 months before the journey date and grab your favourite seats. Get additional discounts on round-way flights. Usually, tourists prefer pre-booking round-way flights because they have to get back by the mentioned times in most scenarios. However, if the flight gets cancelled- the passengers are compensated as per the company rules.

Go through popular aggregator web platforms

Most passengers prefer booking their flight tickets online and they mostly prefer OTAs or a popular aggregator web platform to buy their tickets for international flights to Bali from UK, Bangkok, European countries, the USA, South Africa or any destination across the globe.

Witness multiple feasibilities of booking flight tickets from a reputed aggregator web platform whether it’s a website or app. From comparing the available flights to the number of overlays, explore all the necessary details about each available flight before you decide which one you should go for.

Know about the lucky cheap flying days

Online international flight booking people are well aware of Happy Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays when they can book international flight tickets at quite a discounted rate.

According to cynics, it’s a myth, you can try your fate by searching for the flights on these available days before booking tickets as some jaw-dropping offers are available on these days and the fortunate shoppers grab these deals.

To get instant intimation on the flight deals, sign up for the newsletters. The email intimation will help you notice the offers the concerned flight companies or the aggregator sites are offering then and there!

Target the shoulder season for attractive international flight deals

Considering the weather the region experiences, you can book your tickets to receive massive discounts and jaw-dropping deals on international flights during the shoulder seasons. However, if you intend to fly to Australia, New Zealand or anywhere in Oceania the spring will be from mid-October to March while the countries in the Northern Hemisphere experience winter. So, do take a quick look at that before you book the flight tickets and spend more to buy a packaged tour.

The priority of any vacationer is to experience balanced weather whether they travel or decide on their trip accordingly. You cannot plan a vacation to Dubai in May to avoid the scorching heat. Likewise, you’ll not plan a trip to Switzerland in December unless you are dying to see snowfall in the Swiss Alps!

Use the loyalty points

If you’re a part of any loyalty program of any airline company then while booking your next flight tickets, redeem the collected points so far for the discount. Using the loyalty points can help you save more on your next flight to Bangkok.

These are a couple of things you must do besides booking a 100% customized packaged trip to Bangkok if you would like to experience a hassle-free vacation in this Asian destination including sightseeing tours, rental cars etc.
