Helicopters, military and low planes over Saint Charles, MD
3 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, N507ME (EC45), is 21 km NNE at 875 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.
1 military aircraft is visible nearby: 19-0018 (B752) 53 km NW at 5,475 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.
3 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: JIA5179 45 km NNW at 2,200 ft; N204SG 46 km SE at 2,075 ft; SWA2778 59 km N at 1,475 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.
1 aircraft nearby uses 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 Saint Charles, MD. 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.
