Why are they flying over? Is it to get me to forget businesses are failing and our economy is in the tank? Save the kerosene and make my house payment.

It’s a training mission. DOD won’t be paying your bills

Quoted: What is the best site or ap to track the flyovers today? Flight Aware? They wont show up. Flightaware redacts most of that. Regardless, most military flights do not enable ADS-B (I've been running a flight tracker for ~5 years, and only occasionally catch a tanker or AWACS, never a fighter despite being near a practice bombing range). |

Thanks for the response. I assumed that was the case but thought for air shows and known flights might be.

I have the privilege of getting rocked by the 115th almost everyday (live 6 miles north of MSN). I run an ads-b antenna and frustrated that I can’t see them. I can see all other military planes (blackhawks, tankers, cargo), but not them. They must broadcast something in order for ATC can see them. Would love to get a heads up whenever they’re about to buzz my house. |

ADS-B helps out though as it provides real-time precision instead of the delay of a radar sweep. The mobility aircraft fleet has had ADS-B added but the combat aircraft fleet likely never will. The DOD has an ADS-B exemption from the FAA following their 1 Jan 20 ADS-B mandate. |
