Helicopters, military and low planes over Baltimore

No helicopters are broadcasting their position within 60 km of Baltimore right now. If you can hear one, it may be a police or military helicopter that does not transmit ADS-B, or one outside receiver range at low altitude.

No military aircraft are showing within 60 km. Military jets often fly without broadcasting, so "none visible" does not mean none flying.

12 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: SWA3302 19 km SW at 1,125 ft; N2473G 30 km ESE at 1,400 ft; N442SM 32 km N at 1,675 ft; N76PL 32 km WSW at 700 ft; N2846N 33 km WSW at 1,650 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Baltimore. For the exact aircraft above your street, open "What's overhead" and share your location: it lists every aircraft near you with the direction and angle to look.

Aircraft broadcast their position by ADS-B and volunteer receivers relay it. Small drones, most military aircraft on missions and some police aircraft do not broadcast, so they never appear on any public tracker. Drone sightings cannot be checked here.

Coverage: ADS-B from volunteer receivers. Within 60 km of a big city coverage is usually good above a few thousand feet; low helicopters can drop out between receivers. Circling detection uses positions sampled once a minute over the last 20 minutes.
