First one of these Orion replacements I've seen. In the screen shot it's going from from Edinburgh SA to Amberley Qld. No doubt this aircraft will be blocked pretty soon, probably not by the RAAF but by FR24.

On a similar theme, you don't see a lot of Dassault Falcons flying around Oz but the other day I spied one flying from Ayres Rock to Brisbane although initially that was an educated guess because it was just a generic callsign and a trail on FR24. Every other flight tracker though had full particulars of the both the aircraft and the flight and it does not appear that the operator of the aircraft has in any way requested blocking.
Amazing - blocked just because it is a corporate jet and yet now I notice that if you happen to own one that is blocked, FR24 will be pleased to unblock it for access on your business subscription - for a fee!

So your corporate jet is blocked automatically by type then you can pay for having it unblocked.
No wonder they do not want to discuss it. All the flight data provided for free by feeders and the
data base they use updated also by volunteers. Hmmmmm

1. I may be wrong but I don't think FR24 automatically blocks all corporate jets (or other, civil registered types).
2. There is a fee to block an aircraft using the "Express 24hr service" (which supports my above understanding). Or free for the slower service.
3. Unblocking a blocked aircraft for the owner/operator's FR24 Business account is free. Additional aircraft incur a fee.
The world’s most popular flight tracker. Track planes in real-time on our flight tracker map and get up-to-date flight status & airport information.
I may be reading this incorrectly but I don't thinks FR24 automatically blocks civil registered aircraft.

aircraft blocked. Its also a pointless exercise since there are many sites available that do not filter any aircraft.
However this whole subject seem to be "the elephant in the room" that nobody talks about.

Even if FR24 automatically blocks all corporate jets, it doesn't automatically charge a fee to unblock them for the owner/operator's Business account. However that may change.
Just made a check and CL60 HB-JRA 4B197E isn't "blocked". But all other currently tracked CL60's are. Checking some other types, all are blocked.
As I said, on reading what's published, FR24 should not be blocking all corporate jets. But that doesn't mean it isn't.

All corporate jets are blocked by type everywhere that I look on FR24 and it even extends to the likes of Boeing Business Jets (a 737 with a custom interior).

Qantas Jumbo returns to SYD
A Qantas jet bound for San Francisco returns to Sydney after pilots discover a "technical issue" about 90 minutes into its journey, with passengers claiming the flight was "ridiculously bumpy".

It's quite possible FR24 is automatically blocking certain types (though my CL60 example is an exception) in order to derive additional revenue. It's a profit driven business and who can blame it for seeking new revenue streams.
But one might argue that it should be up front in explaining this to those who buy its (now) restricted flight tracking apps and subscription accounts.
"Blocking
For security and privacy reasons information about some aircraft is limited or blocked. This includes most military aircraft and certain high profile aircraft, like Air Force One."
As an early adopter, I now use Fr24 less and its competitors more simply because so many flights are blocked on not displayed. But I still run my own hardware to feed various services, including PiAware to get unrestricted MLAT and local flights.

Thanks for the heads up. Just noted this aircraft currently doing circuits along with 'Birddog275' (a Rockwell 695A) around RAAF Base Richmond (NSW) where it seems it will be based for our current fire season. If I can pick up its callsign I'll post it here for those who might be interested.
DC10 ATC callsign 'Bomber912'
RAAF Richmond ATC frequencies: Tower 135.50, Ground 128.250, Approach 135.90 for those who may want to listen.
