Planes over Milford right now

At 14:21 local (18:21 UTC), 60 aircraft were airborne within 60 km of Milford, Connecticut, United States, 5 of them within 25 km of the city centre. The closest is N3956M (P28A), 7 km SW at under 100 ft.

By height: 5 cruising at 20,000 ft or more (mostly passing over on the way somewhere else), 15 between 3,000 and 20,000 ft (typically climbing out or descending into a nearby airport) and 40 below 3,000 ft. Most of the traffic is arriving at or departing from airports around Milford.

Helicopters, military and low planes over Milford

1 helicopter is flying within 60 km. The nearest, FXC11 (S76), is 33 km SSW at 600 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.

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

23 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: CAP3121 20 km WSW at 2,000 ft; N55294 24 km NNW at 1,725 ft; ~275A2A 28 km S at 2,200 ft; N5253C 29 km SSW at 1,950 ft; N722MA 30 km WSW at 150 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.

3 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 Milford. 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.

• What's flying over me (use my location)

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.
