So why don't you tell me about your interests, Id love to know about them, They must be spectacular!!
Well I'm 74 now but my interests and occupations have been quite spectacular -  flying military helicopters and fixed wing aircraft, piloting hovercraft and gliding instructor amongst them. Some of the others I cannot mention.  ;)

Too late to start now I think, Mike.  ;D

BTW, I did not say that kallig's list was not interesting, it's just that I don't think FR24 is the place to look if you are really interested. Planeplotter is the only facility which guarantees you will be able to track military aircraft in great numbers every day.

Never too late.  ???

I agree FR24 isn't the best place for military spotting but for some it's a starting point before they invest in PlanePlotter.

I am more than ready to invest in planespotter, And I will purchase it as soon as can make sure I will be able to connect it to the mode-S Beast via TCP. Still no luck with that :/

I am really interested in millitary traffic in my area.
And FR24 has been a good jumping platform into this hobby.

I would advocate taking advantage of the generous 21 day free trial concession that PlanePlotter offers.

Apologies, but I have to disagree with that statement.  I feed and therefore have access to a number of different sites (incl FR24 and Planeplotter).  THE most complete military coverage comes from 360radar IMHO.  This capability is about to be greatly exanded as work is afoot to capture aircraft that only transmit ModeA, rather than just ModeC which is generally required from MLAT.

Their main focus is miltary traffic.

I have no affiliation.  Just very impressed at what they deliver.
