Plane finder
 
I use the Plane finder app but I've found the only military stuff to show up is Hawks, Tucanos and the occasional Voyager.
Does anyone know if theres a fix for this?
Ive tried FR24 with similar results.

ADSB exchange shows a lot military stuff, though perhaps not everything.

I had a look. Seems a bit technical.

Most military aircraft don't send data that allows their position to be directly plotted on the map.

That information can be derived indirectly by a technique known as multilateration, but different networks implement that in different ways and to a greater or lesser degree.

There's nothing you can do about it.

You're welcome, don't mention it.

Is there anything else we can help you with?

Dave, sorry you're quite right i have been tardy in replying. I generally like to wait a bit rather than reply constantly.
I took a second look at adsb and it was better than i thought initially.
I take your point re military not broadcasting their locations.
Thanks for your responses.
