...as if we didn't expect it. Around 3am central time Special Forces connected with AFSOC deployed. No idea where as of yet, but was sudden, from a central CONUS base. Airmen had less than an hour notice to be on flight. I hope to God we're not going to push our luck "over there". This info came to me DIRECT from one deploying..

I follow planes, but these won't show up.
yeah i just looked. transponders are off
I'm an idiot about all this, but how would you know if a plane is up in the air with transponders off vs nothing up in the air?
Well in this case, if no planes left from central CONUS on the tracker apps this morning around 3am and u/Sabre2th has first hand knowledge that there was a plane leaving from there at that time, we know the transponder must have been off.
Pretty much have to know that a plane was in the air and see that its not pinging the tracking apps to know.
