Why can I see some planes but not others? Many smaller and older aircraft are not yet carrying the required transponder equipment so are difficult to track. Our MLAT technology can overcome this and is constantly being developed. This will help us to track even more aircraft types.

The red aircraft in planefinder.net are our primary ADS-B, MLAT and glider feeds. In addition to these we take a delayed feed from the FAA. These are the orange planes and are shown when we are not tracking via our live feeds. Tip – Set up one or more filters to add or remove these feeds.
Most Of Military/Air Force Jets or other aircraft's don't carry's ADS-B Transponder So the plane don't send his GPS position to planefinder's ground station and that's why Military and Air Force Planes Mostly dosent appear on Planefinder.
Under no circumstances should a pilot of a civil aircraft operate the transponder on Code 7777. This code is reserved for military interceptor operations.
Military aircraft operating in restricted/warning areas or on VR routes will squawk 4000 unless another code has been assigned or coordinated with ATC.
It's performative and the pilot can't hear you anyway! Whether you love to clap or not, know that the pilots likely can't hear you. This is due to the soundproof-nature of the cockpit.
