Little Wings aircraft hidden on FlightAware

Does anyone know why the three Little Wings aircraft are no longer visible on FlightAware ("This aircraft is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator") or Flightradar24?

Could it have anything to do with their recent announcement of Medical Wings as a program sponsored by Newcastle Permanent to fly on a monthly basis across NSW - sounds a lot like a charter operation rather than the patient transfer flights for sick children and their families that are their "one simple yet important mission".

Ahhh, aviation. No end of self-interested dobbing arseholes.

Who cares if they are not on Flightaware? As long as they are visible on ATC radar when they are required to be then anything else is irrelevant.

My version of flight aware is to look out the window of my bugsmasher.

If you're that concerned you can probably still see them on FR24.

I'm just wondering what Lyco Ming's fascination with Little Wings is.

He/She/It/They seemed quite interested in a Baron operated by them that hit skippy last year too...

You come across as operating on very low moral ground. Like really very low.

What’s bad about helping sick kids?

Flight Aware only shows a small fraction of ADSB signals.
I use an antenna, receiver, feed FlightAware and others and have
access to every signal that I can receive which is instantaneous
and not up to a 15 min censored delay.
