Looking at a Military helicopter flying around lake St Clair goes up to Port Huron and back to looks like Selfridge. Last night there was 2 helicopters flying around, as per the track on the ADS-B Exchange, looked like a training exercise.

Had a US Coast Guard Dolphin fly directly over my house at 1100'. I'm near Willow Run Airport and I see they went east over Detroit Metro and to the Detroit River. Last week they came out and flew around the bighouse(University of Michigan Football Stadium). So indeed must be some pilot training going on.

I was checking out the ADS-B site and it was showing 3 small but planes flying around the Sarnia Ont area, I am going to assume they were military planes. I clicked on each one and on the left page I got what I always see when it is a military plane, that be not much information lol, then they disappeared off the map.
It is interesting when the Stratotanker is flying around, all of a sudden military jets appear out of nowhere around the tanker. You can actually watch them get into position to gas up. As soon as the gas up they blink off and they are not visible anymore. Makes me wonder how many military planes are flying around unobserved by the like of us.

On 02-12-24 I had TIGER617 a Canadian C-130 going into Windsor. It had 2 more tracks following it, but it was only one aircraft. I see this happen all the time with all kinds of aircraft on Flightradar24.com. Just my 2 cents worth.
