VPR Tracking - legit or sinister?

You're right. I need to find someone with a plane.

Drones.

The FAA knows every aircraft in the sky and where it's been.

I saw con-air. You can turn that doohickey tracking thing off.

Negative. You have to register your flight plan when you take off. They know exactly who you are in the air. Most civilian aircraft lack IFF transponders anyway.

Also, I doubt there is an off switch for those transponders on commercial airliners.

I could probably launch a plane from the field across the street, though.

You remember that dude that flew his little plane into East Berlin, landed in the park, grabbed his family, and flew back out?

He didn't need no airport.

Then they will send the Air Force to escort you down.

There's gotta be a minimum altitude. I guess someone might just pick up the phone and call it in if you buzzed their house, though.

Not for an aircraft. They track everything, dude.

Unless they are tracking all of vehicles on the road with the same radar they're using to track the airplanes, there has to be a minimum altitude.

Cars have no altitude. That's your minimum.

Drones are small enough that I doubt they get tracked at all outside of dense urban areas or places at risk of attack.

Anything really above structures and geography is potentially tracked. Anything as large as an airplane is certainly tracked.
