22 clocked at 828mph to catch up to tanker.

Heard the loud roar a little while ago. Usually when I hear something unusual these days I check out adsbexchange and found 22, whatever 22 is, had just flown over my house. Figured it must be military something. Military flights around here used to happen quite frequently, but by the time I got a new scanner, they had pretty much stopped all together. I'm hearing them quite frequently on 363.9 strange conversation right now.

Same location and time.
My own receiver with no MLAT. Aircraft displayed on the map are broadcasting their location, ie ADS-B (mode-S + location according to the planes GPS).

ADSBexchange with MLAT being used to calculate locations of aircraft without ADS-B (plain mode-S, no GPS providing location) and plot them.

Any idea why it's so rare to see fighters and bombers getting plotted by MLAT in the Northeast (very high concentration of receivers) ? For example why is this the first time we've seen a fighter in the CAP ? And why not the tankers after they have turned off their ADS-B ?
