There are accounts on Twitter that attempt to do this, down to recording encrypted messages and using the existence and pattern of the messages - rather than the text - as a potential clue.
The various doomsday planes regularly take part in nuclear exercises - which are treated as signals for both friends and foes - so there's quite a bit of data to keep.
Conclusion: unless a full first strike is scheduled beforehand and you're high up enough to be in the loop, you're very unlikely to get much notice.
I have little faith that a compound in NZ or HI would be much use unless you move there well ahead of any Event.
And possibly not much after, because with supply chains gone you're going to start running out of essential spare parts and consumables (including medical supplies) within a decade at most.
As someone already mentioned, these are often tracked on Twitter. Just wanted to add: many of these Air Force and government planes use ADS-B so they're easy to follow. Seems to be more tankers and cargo that do. We were able to watch some of the movements to Venezuela and Iran in advance of hostilities. Other interesting things have popped up like US or British intel flights over the Black Sea.
This would be a great thing to add to the apocalypse tracker. Though I guess it might be a bit tricky. Would need to know the baseline of normal operations. And what would be more or less typical while conflicts, like the current one, are ongoing. Then figure out what would be a sufficient deviance from that for alarm thresholds.

These were deliberately visible to show that the US is not messing around this time. A mass evacuation would never advertise in ads-b. But perhaps you could see a drop in activity as hidden planes get priority on the runway?
You can, but people seem to forget the job of the military when they're not actually fighting a war is to practice fighting wars. I remember this kind of thing happening all the time when I was in. We had a reserve exercise in Texas where someone got a hold of the operations order in media and thought we were going to literally occupy the state. When we ramped down counterinsurgency after leaving Iraq and started sending all the heavy units back to NTC in California to relearn how to be heavy units, a bunch of people saw hundreds of tanks on trains going west and thought it was some kind of real mobilization. My wife used to work on an experimental radar project that flew unmarked planes with no tail numbers out of a commercial airport under a Navy unit that had no official presence and didn't wear uniforms, but it's pretty obvious to anyone watching they're Navy planes because it's identical models but with radar units attached you'd never see on operational craft. People thought they were smuggling drugs, surveilling the public, testing alien tech, whatever crazy shit the Internet can dream up. All they were doing was collecting data for validation testing, flying over land and water they controlled because that's the only way to get real ground truth.
The income tax needs to be replaced with a consumption tax. The income tax is a terrible system for an internet based economy.
To ensure that the consumption tax doesn't hit the poor too hard the govt can determine how much someone at the poverty line would pay, on average, in monthly taxes ie$200. The govt then deposits $200 monthly in to every US citizen's USG debit card.
Murphy is the typical ignorant politician. Iran has been chanting Death to America since 1979 and was on the verge of getting a nuke.
9/11 happened because we failed to act when we had the chance to take out UBL in the 90's. Trump is not waiting for us to get nuked. His actions are simple self-defense by putting the Persians back in charge in Iran. So oil prices go up for a month, big deal.
The world will be FAR safer when that terrorist regime is gone.
Not enough opportunity to grift off the taxpayers. Private enterprise will focus on faster, cheaper, better while the government and its contractors focus on keeping the gravy training running.
One side issues the judge brought up is that no points go on the driver's record with a red light camera offense. The entire point of the points system is to get bad drivers off the road. But people can have numerous red light infractions and still keep their license.
OK? Law is subjective to a degree because it has to be. We write tests and rules and then a judge figures out the specific outcome. That's how law works.
It's not a dream and hasn't been for decades. It's more a problem now because the federal government as a whole has gotten so powerful. Returning power to the states is one alternative.
