Discovered a little weirdness in ADSB's user interface, that could result in missed data if not understood. In particular,
the ADSB MIL filter works a little different from the other filters.
What I observed:
Had MIL filter set
Added SPECIES = HELICOPTER filter
Result: Only helicopters that are military
Unchecked MIL filter
Result: Only helicopters that are civilian
(Military helicopters are suppressed)
Deleted MIL filter
Result: All helicopters, both military and civilian.
I would have thought that disabling vs. deleting the MIL filter should have an identical effect, but they don't act the same.
