Helicopters, military and low planes over Livermore

6 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, N307SH (R44), is 3 km NNE at 1,575 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.

2 military aircraft are visible nearby: KING66 (C30J) 36 km SW at 375 ft; C6525 (AS65) 55 km WNW at 775 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: N307SH 3 km NNE at 1,575 ft; REH02 23 km NNE at 2,475 ft; N280CP 27 km W at 725 ft; N4040 54 km SSW at 1,600 ft; N213AN 55 km S at 2,700 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.

7 aircraft nearby use a privacy programme (PIA or LADD), so the owner asked for the identity to be hidden; the position is still shown.

Is a plane circling over Livermore?

N4947G (C172, aircraft) is 28 km E at 825 ft. Over the last 16 minutes it has stayed within about 1.2 km of one spot.

N9526H (C172, aircraft) is 30 km W at 200 ft. Over the last 16 minutes it has stayed within about 0.9 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.

ISS and bright satellites over Livermore tonight

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Livermore. 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.
