- Los Angeles residents following local aircraft and breaking-news activity
- Worth noticing
- Its banners distinguish a pursuit, a 10-minute stationary standoff, low-and-fast police flight, and a news helicopter’s ETA.
Field notes
The page assigns colors to both aircraft types and situations: for example, green marks a news helicopter hovering over a story, while hot pink marks a police pursuit. It says military aircraft are labeled by type rather than tail number. The stated data source is public ADS-B receivers; the extracted page does not show the live map itself.
