Where LAPD Air Support flies

We have recorded LAPD Air Support over 106 neighborhoods in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, 788 passes in all.

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 2 scenes.

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.
