Not just the tankers—the VC-20s themselves are usually visible on ADSBExchange if they’re flying over areas that support Mode-S multilateration[1]. You see some interesting things this way, e.g. President Obama’s last flight on AF1 immediately following President Trump’s inauguration left Joint Base Andrews for Palm Springs[2], but made an unscheduled diversion to fly over the city of Chicago a few times at about 3PM Eastern—perhaps a nice gesture from the flight crew? I never saw that reported anywhere.
