Helicopters over Redlands: common questions
Why is there a helicopter over Redlands?
Most helicopter activity over Redlands 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.
What time do helicopters usually fly over Redlands?
Based on 55 tracked passes over Redlands, the most common hour for helicopter activity is around 10am local time. Activity rises during evening news hours and drops sharply overnight.
Where does this data come from?
