Full ADSB Citations are very rare beasts. None of the local Cessnas are
equipped but a few in the NetJet fleet are.
Gulfstreams are growing, possibly the later models had an avionics upgrade
so you will see more of these. Global Expresses are seen more than any other
jet but again it isn't every aircraft.
Military aircraft are very rare ADSB users but a few transports may be seen.
Some military aircraft aren't Mode S equipped at all so whilst I see all the
Typhoon's and Tornado's and Hawk's and C17's etc, etc I have only ever seen
one Tucano. I assume they can't retrofit. As for Hawk's only the T2 is Mode
S. If there are any T1's still flying they are invisible to our kit.

I've spotted the odd Citation on it, leaving Ronaldsway.
