who use http://flightradar24.com/?

My office is under the approach to Runway 10 of KBWI and the app is pretty on the money for those aircraft equipped with ADS-B.
 
On the Lake Huron shoreline of Michigan I have had ultra lights pop over the trees without warning. Also military aircraft like to fly low near the Mackinaw Bridge and then follow the shoreline . You can see the rivets on the jets. You have to look and listen for them.

Military helicopters do not show up on flightradar. They sometimes fly under 400 ft. I am not in a no fly zone. They do not show up on the screen.
FlightRadar and similar websites use several sources for aircraft detection, most commonly they use ADS-B. Not all General Aviation aircraft, to which helicopters would count normally, are equipped with transponders that are capable of emitting ADS-B data, so they would not show via regular means on FlightRadar.
