Helicopters, military and low planes over Westmont

11 helicopters are flying within 60 km. The nearest, N228LA (AS50), is 11 km NNW at 475 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.

2 military aircraft are visible nearby: KNIFE00 (H60) 29 km SE at 300 ft; BT11 (H60) 30 km SE at 950 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: ASA308 7 km NE at 2,775 ft; N228LA 11 km NNW at 475 ft; FIRE5 24 km NNE at 1,450 ft; N960LA 28 km NE at 775 ft; LXJ336 41 km SSE at 1,650 ft. Low flying away from runways is usually helicopters, survey or banner flights, or traffic approaching a smaller airfield.

3 aircraft nearby use 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 Westmont?

N24CV (C172, aircraft) is 20 km SE at 1,000 ft. Over the last 16 minutes it has stayed within about 2.1 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.

What plane is flying over me?

This page uses the centre of Westmont. 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.
