Helicopters over Claremont: common questions
Why is there a helicopter over Claremont?
Most helicopter activity over Claremont is one of four things: police aircraft supporting officers on the ground, news helicopters covering a developing story, fire or air-medical aircraft responding to an emergency, or private and military aircraft simply transiting the area. This page shows which one is overhead right now, identified by operator.
How can I tell if it's police or a news helicopter?
Police aircraft usually fly tight, repeated orbits over one spot and often stay for a long time. News helicopters tend to hold a wider circle at a higher altitude and arrive after an incident is already underway. This page labels each aircraft by its operator, so you don't have to guess.

Based on 52 tracked passes over Claremont, the most common hour for helicopter activity is around 12am local time. Activity rises during evening news hours and drops sharply overnight.
