Yes, and now I just have to hope that Flightradar24's coders will improve there filter system and give premium members the option to create and save filters  ;)  ;)

You can create and save filters in FR24 website?

I dont think so,  I can add filters but not save them for later use.

I can add filters, close the browser and they're still there when I next open the FR24 webpage.

What's your cookie policy?

I know that.  The filter stays if you close the browser etc...

But, I can not save a search for later use and toggle it on and off.
That would be very handy for complicated filters.

And as we are way off topic here I recommend that you remove this discussion ;)

I'm confused. Most military aircraft don't transmit ADS-B so they won't track on FR24, so what is the point of the alerts?

Well all callsigns in red in the list above have indeed shown up on FR24.
So for those who are interested there is always a change.

Were some of the USA ones in the FAA feed plots?

I am really not sure, I just forgot to check. :/

Honestly I did not spot all of those ac myself.  Most of those were AirCraft were found in the database but most of them have recent activity.
And I don't believe this is complete list of military or government AC's activity on Flightradar24.com

Those interested in RCH (Global Reach) flights will be wasting their time sitting around waiting to see them on FR24 as they do not, as a rule, transmit position. Aircraft with the callsign CMB are not military aircraft but civilian aircraft under contract to the US Air Force for long haul cargo flights.

I am sorry you don't find this list interesting, But I like to waste my time searching for "interesting" aircrafts on flightradar24.com
And I decided to share my list for those who might be interested. I do not expect everyone to be.
Of all the call-signs in that list you mentioned the CMB call-sign. For me that is one of the least interesting call-sign in the list.

So why don't you tell me about your interests, Id love to know about them, They must be spectacular!!

After 7 years of radarspotting, the one thing I've learnt is that there are lots of different reasons and interests amongst those who enjoy this hobby.

Some are very experienced aviators, others more humble enthusiasts who just love things aviation.  Many invest in expensive equipment whilst others have more limited budgets.

My wife and sons think I'm a total nutter but it keeps me out of trouble (well of sorts).

The good news we now have lots of choices whereas in 2005 we only had the Kinetic SBS-1 at GBP £500.  Now a cheap dongle can get you up and running or use the free aircraft tracking websites and inexpensive apps.

So whatever your interest, I hope you enjoy it.

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.

Post by: kallig on November 21, 2012, 01:54:13 PM


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.

https://360radar.co.uk/

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