Helicopters, military and low planes over Rancho Cordova
5 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, REH97 (AS50), is 13 km NW at 700 ft and has been circling. 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.
1 military aircraft is visible nearby: RCH5142 (C17) 59 km SW at 1,650 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.
6 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: REH96 26 km NE at 775 ft; CFR606 26 km NE at 975 ft; N591CA 43 km SW at 2,475 ft; CFR601 44 km NNE at 2,275 ft; N5579F 49 km SSW at 800 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.

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