✈️ Aircraft

What you're seeing: live positions from airplanes.live, a volunteer ADS-B receiver network (updates every 15 seconds). Nose points the direction of travel; color is altitude. Rochester is moderately busy regional airspace — watch for Mayo Clinic medical flights (Mayo One helicopters and fixed-wing patient transports serving the clinic), regional airline service at Rochester International (KRST), general aviation, and airliners crossing high overhead. Tap any plane for details. Use the layer button (top-right) to switch the background between dark, a real FAA VFR sectional chart, and satellite — the sectional is US-only, so it goes blank north of the border.
