    Why would you want to hide that information? As long as planes use public skies everyone should be identified. Thats like the very basics of every secure operation.

      Absolutely air traffic in the sky should be identified. There is no problem with that, but it’s the idea that it is too easy to find out everything about an aircraft owner by simply seeing the number on their tail.

      The rich guys obfuscate that info with shell corps to own the aircraft.

      Shouldn’t everyone have the right to the same level of privacy regardless of how much money they have?

      Just like with the cars.

      You can find out anything as well with the license plates.

        No you cannot. You cannot easily find someone’s address from looking at their plate. You need more information, or to do some advanced searching. It is simply not the same.
