Helicopters, military and low planes over Broken Arrow

4 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, N709MT (B407), is 35 km ESE at 1,325 ft. Police, air-ambulance, news and tour helicopters often fly low and slow over cities; ADS-B does not say which role a helicopter has, but the registration on the flight page usually tells you the operator.

1 military aircraft is visible nearby: N875OU (H60) 48 km SSW at 750 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.

7 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: SCU27 3 km NW at 2,200 ft; N455KG 25 km NNE at 2,475 ft; SWA2065 28 km NNW at 1,600 ft; N35628 32 km WNW at 2,200 ft; N709MT 35 km ESE at 1,325 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.

Is a plane circling over Broken Arrow?

SCU13 (P28A, aircraft) is 18 km WSW at 1,400 ft. Over the last 18 minutes it has stayed within about 2.3 km of one spot.

Aircraft circle for many ordinary reasons: police or news helicopters watching an incident, holding patterns while waiting to land, aerial survey, flight training or photography.

With 6 aircraft within 25 km, Broken Arrow is busier than 1 of 2 nearby large cities right now. The busiest nearby sky is over Tulsa with 7 aircraft within 25 km.

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Broken Arrow. 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.
