ADS-B Out and Passive Radar Homing Missile

There was one Grasshopper in WWII that shot down an ME-109 with a rocket, wasn't there?
I don't think so, but they did outmaneuver a few at low level into making accidents. Also there were more than one of the rocket-equipped Cubs, and at least one or two OY-1s on Iwo Jima also had rocket tubes strapped on.
 
Did you look in the rear view mirror?

No but my Scout ADS-B in didn’t show anything. On a serious note, reminds when I was working approach and my sup informed me that a “Omaha” would be flying through my airspace. Had no idea what that was at the time.

My boss had a photo mission literally on the border one time, and a bit after that enroute to another photo station was told that there was a target ATC wasn’t talking to behind him on a similar flight path. A bit later they told him the target had disappeared… but a bit after that they were looking around and noticed a DHS or CBP Citation flying formation to their rear close enough to see the pilot’s faces - they were apparently checking them out.
