Helicopters, military and low planes over Pleasanton
6 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, N307SH (R44), is 12 km ENE 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) 28 km SW at 375 ft; C6525 (AS65) 47 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 12 km ENE at 1,575 ft; N280CP 18 km W at 725 ft; REH02 30 km NE at 2,475 ft; C6525 47 km WNW at 775 ft; N4040 49 km SSW at 1,600 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.

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