Note to Mods. Not sure where to put this as it concerns all platforms of receivers.

Am I right in assuming that over the next couple of years that our screens will be filling up with DHC-8's, Embraer's, etc. as ADS-B comes into it own. Just reading a Eurocontrol report and it seems that way as all new aircraft over a specific weight and airspeed from 8th Jan 2015 are being equipped as standard, and those not already equipped to be equipped by 7 June 2020. So will our screens be filling up with Flybe, etc. as they go in for service and avionics added as I noticed a Luxair DHC-8 fully plotting (LX-LGE) on more than 1 occasion.

Also, I posted a link with reference that the US fleet of KC-135's, C-17's, KC-10's, etc are going to be fully plotting in time (provided they don't turn it off when in UK airspace as Anmer found out after losing a C-17 over the Bristol Channel)
They are coming under new rules to operate in civilian airways, as they will have to abide by civilian air traffic rules
