Planes near me, live
Open Wingwait, allow location, and the map centres on your own sky. Every dot is a real aircraft, with its callsign, altitude, speed and, where known, where it's going.

- ✈ What's above me? finds the aircraft highest in your sky (steepest angle up from where you're standing), not just the nearest one.
- ⌖ keeps a blue dot on your position as you move.
- Overhead alerts (in Settings) ping you when something worth looking up at, such as a helicopter, fast jet or military aircraft, passes within about 8 km.
Questions
Does Wingwait store my location?
No. Your location is used in your browser to centre the map and find what's overhead. Only rounded coordinates are sent to the flight-data networks to ask what's nearby, and Wingwait doesn't keep them.
Why is a plane I can hear not on the map?
Some light aircraft don't carry ADS-B, and low-flying aircraft can be out of range of the nearest receiver.
