Helicopters, military and low planes over Lawndale
12 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, N228LA (AS50), is 16 km N at 525 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: BT11 (H60) 27 km SE at 950 ft; KNIFE00 (H60) 29 km ESE at under 100 ft; KNIFE44 (H60) 60 km SE at 750 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.
9 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: N732ZY 15 km SE at 2,950 ft; N119FR 27 km SE at 2,900 ft; BT11 27 km SE at 950 ft; N229LA 28 km NNW at 1,750 ft; FIRE5 30 km NNE at 1,450 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 Lawndale. 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.
