I think that filling a public forum with very specific radar spots on military aircraft is a very bad idea for the virtual radar hobby.
Bizjet operators are already in discussions with the FAA about "protecting" their Mode S information from prying eyes (hobbyists and competitors, and maybe regulators although they would never come out and say that). Imaging the military developing similar concerns and demanding that the new ATC system provide for secrecy of Mode S data.
The FAA would almost be compelled to encrypt the entire system, including airliners, and the virtual radar hobby would disappear almost overnight.
Too much specific chatter about other aspects of the radio monitoring hobbies have already caused agencies to "protect" their communications from public interception. Why are we begging for the same thing to happen again?
