The mission of SeeAndAvoid.org is to eliminate midair collisions and reduce close calls with good flight planning software. By promoting information exchange between civilian pilots and the military flight safety community, we hope to help all of us safely share the skies.

SEE and AVOID military aircraft in your airspace by entering your airport identifier to ensure a safe flight-plan and avoid midair collisions. Ensure proper flight safety with proper flight planning software.

 

Avoiding midair collisions is everyone's responsibility. With proper flight planning software, midair collisions can be avoided. With the vast variety of military aircraft in the skies, flight safety and midair collision avoidance is an even bigger challenge. Click on the images below to see each aircraft's mission.
