Helicopters, military and low planes over Rowland Heights
11 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, N960LA (AS50), is 13 km NW at 1,000 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: BT12 (H60) 46 km SSW at 275 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.
10 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: N65537 12 km S at 2,975 ft; N960LA 13 km NW at 1,000 ft; ~299404 18 km SW at 500 ft; N925TV 20 km NNW at 1,875 ft; SKW3042 23 km SSE at 2,200 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 Rowland Heights. 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.
