ADSB Exchange did not use the term flying dark. They said it was not broadcasting ADSB, the newest transponder technology. It was broadcasting using an older Mode-C transponder, which is how ADSB Exchange can show positions of the helicopter via multilateration (MLAT). https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a97753,ae313d&lat=38.847&lon=-77.023&zoom=14.5&showTrace=2025-01-30 https://x.com/adsbex/status/1884793847068164379?s=46&t=3mEEe6AWLbldwN7p5Q-N8A https://adsbx.discourse.group/t/multilateration-mlat-how-it-works-and-why-you-should-care/325

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1884812192173731915
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
