Mr. Merkel Posted Tuesday at 14:35 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 14:35 Hi all, Can anyone recommend a flight tracker I would be able access on the laptop, I live not to far from RAF Lakenheath and Mildenhall often we hear some heavy planes overhead but when looking on Flight radar 24 or ADS-B nothing is shown. Many thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spr1985 Posted Tuesday at 14:46 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 14:46 My wife uses flight radar and it shows military aircraft, we quite often have apache and chinook helicopters fly over the house and surrounding areas, some times they show sometimes they don’t. I’m quite sure it translates to transponders on or off and if they’re off they’re off for a reason. By my thought process that would translate to they don’t want them tracked so highly unlikely that an app exists that allows you to track them whilst transponders are turned off. Although I may be wrong….wouldnt be the first time 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
