All aircraft have transponders which expose their location publicly. Military aircraft have these too; but that wouldn't do in times of war so they're able to turn them off.

The site I linked & image pasted above normally shows a bunch of airplane icons -- but there is NOTHING for US military.

What altitude? Transponders would likely be squawking during takeoff for safety, but once it's in the air it might go dark or squawk as another classification.
