the maps with all active flights(commercial and military) reminded me of the Super Bowl flyby and how many people complained about the cost of putting on a show like that. ADSB will filter military flights and on any given day there are thousands of military aircraft in the air from B52s to C130s and that doesn't account for any of the tactical aircraft which do not squawk. Three planes on a one-off flight that counts as training time is really inconsequential. Now contrails is another story, LOL.
