Awesome is a much overused word, but watching the fleet land at Nellis is really awesome. For those who haven't seen it, they use a defensive landing pattern, i.e. 4 planes fly in "holding hands", then one at a time breaks off and lands while the others circle. You can hear the F15's "whoop", which is some sort of air pressure release according to Magoo. The whole fleet lands in an hours time. It's like a parade of planes.

To the best of my knowledge, only civilian planes can be tracked on the net. Janets are civilian planes (in theory), though the Beechs have UHF capability based on a comment I heard when one landed at the TTR.
