Are all military helicopters required to have identification markers? Was out front heard one overhead,other then the green paint there wasn’t a marking on it.

I don't think it's a complete requirement,, but in general,, almost all do have numbers on them. BUT,, often hard to see,, due to camo, & subdued paint schemes. Most likely it did have numbers,, but you just couldn't see them easily.

Lots of, but not all, military aircraft appear by their call sign on Flightradar24, a phone app. You can use that on a smartphone and possibly find out about the craft.

We always see some C17s here in my part of the Piedmont NC. Epic 41 passes by almost weekly sometimes 2x. Every now and then they will fly over but won't be on the Flight Radar 24 app. I really enjoy the app alot!

I see a lot of F16s out of Shaw AFB over my place in Chester Co. SC. Lots of military aircraft of many types actually. Makes my day to see the Vipers slicing through the air.

I just loaded that app on my phone. Very cool. I was watching the area near my house. Heard a helicopter and immediately saw it on the app. Identified as a Blackhawk. Went out and looked and sure enough it was.

Air Force C-130 flyovers, sometimes a formation of 3 or even 5, every couple of days here. Little Rock AFB (about 50 miles south) is a flight training center for them. I love it when they make their low passes. Almost but not quite NOTE level flying.

The thought of that app, kinda bothers me. I'll let it drop here.
