Ralf,

VFR with Flight Following only shows up on FlightAware if your squawk code
goes into the National Airspace System.  This doesn't happen if you are
flying in what the controllers consider the "local area".  You have to be
flying to a destination where you will have to be handed off to another
controller before that will happen.
At my airport, the local code is 03XX, if I get an 03 code, I know it will
not be tracked.  If it is another code it will show up.

how did you file?
If you file and execute an IFR flight plan, it will usually show up.
If you fly without a flight plan and just ask for advisories, it depends on
what the controllers do with your information whether you really show up or
not.  I bet Ron Galbraith could provide some insight.

Dear subscribers,

On 11/9/2013 I flew from 5G7 (Ohio) to MYR (South Carolina) and back on
the same day. I had a great tailwind at FL230 going south and I recall
seeing ground speeds up to 315 kts at one point.

When I try to look up the flight on flightaware I just see the slow
flight coming back - the fast flight going south is missing.

I recall that this happened at least two more times so far: The flight
going somewhere with a strong tailwind and ground speeds >300kts is
missing and the flight back on the same day is there.

Is this just a coincident or has someone else experienced something
similar?

Ralf
