Does he actually do a good job researching his content? Found and Explained sucks. Very loose with the facts, poor research, lots of conjecture, gets a lot flat-out wrong.

Apologies if this was already posted, but an ERJ-175 lost a winglet in moderate-severe turbulence near Birmingham, AL last month. https://avherald.com/h?article=4f84e603

The wife and I recently got to see an airshow where the F-35 and F-22 performed, first time seeing them in person for us. The F-35's were surprisingly loud, louder than the twin engine F-22's ad F-18's. The F-22 definitely lived up to the alien quality I'd expected in how it was moving via thrust vectoring, like it was cheating gravity. Always fun to hear the crackle of an afterburner.

Agreed on the F-22. When I saw it perform at an airshow it was totally unreal. I always think of it when I hear someone talking about UFOs and how they must be aliens because real planes can't fly as crazy as whatever they saw.

Is there a flight tracking site which does historical data so I can look up what flew overhead yesterday or something? I don't need more than about 24hr of rewind but apparently a trio of Loud Planes went overhead and I want to see what they were all I heard was a twin bonanza which, while loud, was not "three jets in formation" loud or so was reported to me

Military aircraft (particularly pointy-jets) are generally not going to be populated on most (any) flight trackers anyway, even if you pay for historical data.

Yeah, I use adsbexchange for live data specifically to avoid that problem but I don't think they have historical due to costs, unfortunately. e: turns out flightradar24 can do it, but I had to filter by plane type to find them since they were shown as 'no callsign' -- it was a trio of KC-135Rs Psion fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Jun 3, 2022 |

A lot of military aircraft don’t show up because they don’t have ADS-B antennas/software/whatever installed.

I've been trying to track planes overhead this week, and I've spotted F15s, F16s, and F18s that did not show up on flightradar. Saw some T34s that did. Saw an F117 a couple weeks ago that didn't show up on flightradar either.

Weirdly enough, some B-52s have ADS-B gear. Military aircraft will also occasionally show up as "generic" aircraft on the screen.

On the internal app I have reading directly off the device, it never sees the F16s taking off from the ANG base a few miles away, but will pick up tankers, T-38s, and the occasional C-17 that rolls in. I think they're constantly being exempted.

They definitely have exemptions for just not having the hardware/software installed. I fly a military aircraft that does have it (T-6) and previously flew one that probably still doesn’t (V-22); it didn’t have it the last time I flew it at least. I fly regularly with a Sentry puck for ADSB-in and can only see other training aircraft and occasionally a P-8 or C-17. Everyone else I’ve seen out there is usually an old-as-dirt airplane that probably needs a million avionics upgrades in line before ADSB.

Well that answers that! The base is going to be switching to F35s in the next few years. I'm assuming they were built with ADS-B already in place?

Many military aircraft don't have it yet, but there's a blanket waiver anyway so they don't have to use it. You might/might not be surprised how many US military aircraft didn't meet RVSM requirements until years after they were enacted.

Though to be fair, getting an aerodynamically problematic turboprop above FL290 takes a lot of effort in the first place.
