Share your wisdom: flight tracking apps
Every once in a while I see planes fly over that aren't on my flight tracking app. The military planes are obvious but sometimes older "non fancy" helicopters and planes don't show up.

Why would this be?

Not all aircraft have transponders.

The transponders can be turned off.
Also, agencies ask the developers to not to show some of the planes.

So I'm looking at planes owned by three letter agencies or people who turn off their transponders?
