    A KC-10 was displayed over northern Quebec, an uninhabited region except for a couple of small villages here and there. I understand commercial flights can be displayed via FAA data. How are military flights tracked this way? 83-0080.jpg

    Aircraft was transmitting its position, at least one of ADSBx feeders has received signal. Unfiltered data are available in Global View.
    Kind of miracle :),

    Sorry, your explanation does not sound reasonable to me. The track is over 800 NM long. There is nobody up there. No roads. No infrastructure. No Internet. Nothing.

    You guys are looking at that KC-10 ... did anyone notice the B52 in the list?! That has to be a miscode?!

    Just not real common, but maybe I am wrong.
