I know nothing about plane movement. It's what I like about sites like this. And every other site that got shut down. Some people are very savvy and track this. So, this morning I zoomed way out and based on this map the USA is COVERED with planes. I ask this seriously, is this in any way normal? I've have never seen this level of plane cover but I do not track this.
Yes, the USA has an immense number of aircraft in the air at any one time, especially during the daytime. Most are commercial jets, small commuter planes, and private planes. A few are military. The military, as I understand, are not required to operate their ADSB transponders while they are on a mission that requires secrecy.
