You may find this useful.

 

Getting Started with Planefagging

 

ADS-B Exchange - learn how to use the filters

 

Radarbox - flight scanning

 

Flightaware - very useful for flight histories and arrivals lists

 

Flightradar24 - flight scanning

 

You also need to be able to spot unusual patterns, things that 'don't look right' against the backdrop. It's a skill you can develop and eventually you develop a 'usual suspects list' that KAF R1 has that we watch.

 

German Air Force (Luftwaffe), Swiss Air Force and French Air Farce aren't to be trusted. 2-reg planes are 'wheelmen' for the wealthy, such as Soros as they can't travel via normal routes. 2-reg planes are 'military' and can bypass some customs checks (hint).

 

ATC Live can be useful if you know a happening is going on around an airport. Listening to the Tower can provide insight.

 

Anything else, just ask. Kekistan Recon 1 can always use new recruits.

 

More Planefagging Stuff

 

Helicopters (helos) - groups of helos, particularly Medevac or Mercy Flight ones, should attract attention. This may indicate arrests or renditions, as Q etc. won't use military helos for that as a Black Hawk gets the wrong sort of attention and freaks the straights. Someone from a Medevac helo that "Wants to take you to a place of safety" doesn't attract so much suspicion.

 

Tankers, Poseidons, Nightwatches and Mercurys all mean something military is going on. Fighters don't usually squawk on ADS-B, they only have IFF (although an F-15 called DARK21 did squawk in the UK a few times around Christmas). Remember, you only get to see what they want you to see.

 

It's all in the patterns and follow your instincts.

I'm Red Arrow. Gungan Frog, Eyes on the Skies and other planefags drop in and out. I miss Goose and Kekguns and I wish that they would return.

 

You might want to think of a call sign so we know who is about.

The filters work wonders, as does the search function in Flightaware when it's not being frigged with.

 

After a while, you spot the normal stuff that is routine and seeing unusual plane trips becomes easier. Concentrate on one locale until you get the swing of it.
