Helicopters, military and low planes over Springfield, IL

No helicopters are broadcasting their position within 60 km of Springfield, IL right now. If you can hear one, it may be a police or military helicopter that does not transmit ADS-B, or one outside receiver range at low altitude.

1 military aircraft is visible nearby: FAMUS19 (C17) 57 km ESE at 37,000 ft. Many military flights switch their transponders off or hide their identity, so this is a minimum.

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 Springfield, IL. 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.
