Helicopters, military and low planes over Shoreline

1 helicopter is flying within 60 km. The nearest, N852KP (G2CA), is 49 km S at under 100 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: 63-8043 (K35R) 17 km SSE at 16,325 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.

9 aircraft are below 3,000 ft and not next to an airport: N9379H 11 km SE at 1,700 ft; N6078R 15 km SSW at 2,100 ft; N1538V 16 km NNW at 2,900 ft; N2446X 21 km SSE at 1,400 ft; N9522S 31 km N at 1,975 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.

Is a plane circling over Shoreline?

RFS728 (C172, aircraft) is 18 km NNE at 575 ft. Over the last 12 minutes it has stayed within about 2.7 km of one spot.

Aircraft circle for many ordinary reasons: police or news helicopters watching an incident, holding patterns while waiting to land, aerial survey, flight training or photography.

ISS and bright satellites over Shoreline tonight

The ISS, Tiangong and Hubble pass over Shoreline in the next 24 hours, but none of the passes happens while the sky is dark and the station is sunlit, so none will be visible to the eye.

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Shoreline. 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.
