...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?
You could hear and see it take off, or see it go from transponders on to tx off. You could track most of them with radar, if you had access, possibly satellite, if you were at the right time and place, etc.
