RED2: Central communications blackout [continental US]
That sounds like phone/text/email comms to me.
I don't think so.
If they are not squawking that would indicate to me they've gone operational.
I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Type C17, Callsign RCH165

Biggest insider drop? Laptop related. Remember. Tom McInerney said he thinks they have a song bird.
Rearrange November 20 (11/20) you get January 12 (01/12) or January 21 (01/21)
Re-read crumbs on this topic (necessary).
Post more crumbs on this please
Looks like an arrow pointing to Salt lake city.
on a scale of 1 to 10 how odd is this? i dont watch air traffic so i dont know
lmfao I was thinking the same thing.
"SOMEBODY PAGE MONKEYWERX TO EXPLAIN THIS TO ME"
It was like this last night around 0000-0100 EST. The only one I saw up last night was near baja cali. Showing a c17 out of NC. There was a c17 up out of Nashville but just went dark as it crossed NV border. Guaranteed they’re up there but transponders are off
How many US military aircraft are typically on the map at this time of night?
EDIT: Another question for people who watch this stuff regularly. Is it common for an aircraft to appear on the map for a short period of time and then disappear?
There are now four back online. Call signs RCH 220,662,165,&147.
As I'm typing there's also a TEST1234 call sign in gray??? What does that mean?
EDIT: TEST1234 call sign is now gone
Funny enough monkeywerx was banned from Twitter too.
An H60 helicopter just appeared over Florida. And the c17 in Virginia.
Not gonna lie I just woke up to the sound of air traffic, GOD SPEED BOYS!
RadarBox.com isn't showing any in the US either, but is in other countries
Can you link radarbox with your parameters? You should even post a screenshot on a new post.
I just made a post with the screenshot
check another website to make sure its not a malfuntion
There's nothing for the US on radarbox
cant load up monkey werx twitter. let me know if you guys are having the same issue. i can load any other account but not his
I can’t either
very odd
Hes banned.
RED 2
RCH662 now visible, over Mt. Rainier. Came all the way from Dover, Delaware. Pulled some whacky zig-zags but nothing else odd as far as I can see.
Its squak: 572
THE SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD.
THE GREAT AWAKENING.
A WEEK TO REMEMBER.
Q
I, uh. Holy shit.
When I clicked I just saw a bunch of them.
Youre absolutely correct btw. I see military aircraft in Europe though...which tells me that the site could be working. Is there another site we can use to validate? It's huge otherwise.
OP, you a vet? Cause I'm the wife of a Navy vet and the thought of no military aircraft seen over CONUS blows my mind.
For some reason u thought your link would save your filters....a snapshot helps too.
Just throwing it out there to rule it out, but isn't this normal when it's the middle of the night or the early morning? I ask because as I'm in Australia, adsbexchange is normally this dark for me when I go to view it due to the time difference (i.e. if it's day for me, it's night for you).
NO PLANES NOW?!!!! (at the time of commenting)
then why do i see hundreds..
u talking about military only?
Literal title of post.
Which one?
is a test normal? https://i.imgur.com/aA9o019.png
Someone earlier today said it's unusual to see more than a handful during the day on the weekend and we saw a lot. But you say 100 during the weekend night is normal?
What about during the day? Was seeing between 40 and 80 in the afternoon today. Others suggested that's a lot. But would you say that's less than average?
Thank you. I've been delving into this adsb site lately. It is fascinating, and I already understand a lot of it. I just don't have the past reference experience of what's normal or out of the ordinary.
coordinated. awaiting commands?
I saw it too. Back on now
Fucknthats a shit ton of aircraft up.

theres another c17 with the same callsighn. also a c17 zoom out the map you will see
Hey any of y'all having problems on TOR?
The C-17 planes are military carriers. There's one that left Pakistan after the blackout and is currently heading back to the US now. Lots of big transporters flying around.
