GTLA AirWatch — SMS Terms & Conditions
Last updated: June 9, 2026
Program description
The GTLA AirWatch alert program sends helicopter-activity notifications (e.g., possible pursuit tracking over Los Angeles) from the owner’s self-operated monitoring application to the owner’s own verified mobile phone. It is a single-recipient, personal-use program; the owner may reply YES, NO, or short notes to confirm or dismiss an alert.
Message frequency
Message frequency varies with helicopter activity; typically 0–10 messages per day.
Fees
Message and data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier plan.
Opt-out and help
Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving messages. Reply HELP for assistance, or contact Frank@gtla.live.
Privacy
See our Privacy Policy. No mobile information is shared with third parties.
Website content and 3D models
Added September 29, 2026. This section covers the GTLA AirWatch website, gtla.live. The SMS terms above cover the text-message program only and have not changed.
The 3D aircraft models are on this site so you can view them here, and for nothing else. Unless a model’s own licence says otherwise (see below), you may not download, extract, copy, republish, retransmit, reproduce, redistribute, share, sell or otherwise use any of them, or any group of them, as a stand-alone file — changed or unchanged. That includes saving them from your browser or its cache, pulling them with a script or download tool, and pointing another website or app at them.
It applies in particular to the UH-1 “Huey” family, which is built on a model by helijah / Emmanuel used under the Sketchfab Standard License.
Some models, and some of the originals our models are built from, are published under open licences such as Creative Commons or the GNU General Public License. Our credits page lists them, with their licences and, where a licence requires it, a download of the source. Where an open licence gives you a right to use a file, that licence governs, and nothing in these terms takes that right away.
Questions, or want to use a model for something? Frank@gtla.live.
Google Maps
Added September 30, 2026. Like the section above, this covers the website only, not the text-message program.
The maps on this site include Google Maps features and content, such as Google’s street map and its photorealistic 3D view. Your use of those Google Maps features and content is subject to the current Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
