Only 1 military plane aloft in the entire US. Normal?

In times of war, yes.
You are not going to telegraph military movements during wartime to your enemies. If they have gone "dark", meaning their movement is now classified, than only one on public access is perfectly acceptable.

I just checked, and there is one plane in the entire country in flight. It's Idaho17, flying near Savannah, GA. It's a Beech C-12R+ Huron.
Until a few minutes ago, there was a transponder on the ground in Miami squawking as Test1234.
Maybe it's normal, but I'm used to seeing lots of military planes across the country. Maybe they are there, but not squawking.
if they are flying in US airspace, unless something special is happening, they have to squawk
I'd also factor in time of day. If we assume normal military operations, besides night practice flight operations, I think most of military would be sleeping or in morning PT right now.
I've seen Test1234 for several days now, so that one might be normal.
Could it be weird, 100%. Who knows though.
No, unusually quiet at the moment!
Calm before the storm.
I read something from somewhere that since China helped with the voter fraud then we are at war with China and Trump can use the military without the insurrection act. So if we are at war then it makes sense that we don't everyone to know where all the aircraft are at....
Been at it for couple of months. US pretty normal for this time of day.
Europe seems high to me,
Bear in mind, combat or operational movement would generally go without transponders (Dark).

The guy DoMagnum just commented this 7 minutes after your comment. You both disagree, do you think he's wrong?
