Where LAPD Air Support flies

We have recorded LAPD Air Support over 107 neighborhoods in Los Angeles County, 2418 passes in all — most recently over Sherman Oaks on 27 August.

Counted from this site's own observations of the public ADS-B feed, not from a flight plan — a pass is a visit we watched, and the list is what we have seen, not everywhere this aircraft has been.

Scenes LAPD Air Support worked

Our record ties LAPD Air Support to 1 scene.

This record starts on 10 August and only includes scenes GTLA opened a page for — most of them opened automatically, when our tracking saw helicopters gather over one spot or follow a chase — so it is not a complete history of where this aircraft has flown.
