Helicopters, military and low planes over Buena Park
12 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, N930DK (R44), is 5 km WSW at 550 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.
3 military aircraft are visible nearby: KNIFE44 (H60) 10 km SSW at under 100 ft; BT12 (H60) 21 km SSW at 350 ft; HEX707 (H60) 57 km S at 400 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.
8 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: ~299404 5 km W at 500 ft; N1321T 25 km SW at 1,975 ft; N925TV 36 km NNW at 2,500 ft; N739HS 42 km SSE at 2,400 ft; N8366X 43 km SW at 2,575 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.
5 aircraft nearby use a privacy programme (PIA or LADD), so the owner asked for the identity to be hidden; the position is still shown.

What plane is flying over me?
This page uses the centre of Buena Park. 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.
