10 Is it just me-or is AF1's transponder stuck in the same spot for the last 20mins? (globe.adsbexchange.com) posted 3 years ago by pearlrevolver 3 years ago by pearlrevolver +11 / -1 11 comments share 11 comments share save hide report block hide replies
AF1 has no ADS-B transponder (a lot of military planes do not). To still be able to show them, a network of MODE-S receivers is needed. There are no such receivers on the ocean... https://flightaware.com/adsb/mlat/
