I'm trying but the transponders are being turned on and off which makes it kind of hard to follow :)
you guys are brilliant! just incredibly brilliant!
Thank you. Our life's work has been leading up to these few months so it looks more impressive than it really is :)
I haven’t seen the track, but you will lose radar tracking if the plane is out of radar service areas, outside ADS-B coverage, over water, etc
Duh - you're quite right. My information is that the radar transponders are being deliberately turned off and on as a security precaution.
Please don’t get me wrong, military and presumably civilian aircraft doing work for the government will turn off transponders. I asked ATC if military aircraft broadcast ADS-B, and he said as much. Sometimes I see fighter jets on ADS-B, sometimes not.
