WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER CHANGCHUN?
Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Changchun broadcasting ADS-B appears on the scope above at its true position — airliners, freighters, helicopters, trainers, and the occasional mystery pigeon with no flight plan on file.
Changchun sits practically under the circuit at Changchun Air Base — expect aircraft low, close and slowing down, with the interesting part of the flight happening right overhead. A city of 4.7 million keeps its sky busy from first departures to the late freight.
Most traffic over Changchun is working the nearby airports: Changchun Air Base (CN-0185), 6 NM away; Changchun Longjia International Airport (ZYCC), 17 NM away; Gongzhuling Air Base (CN-0192), 32 NM away. Arrivals and departures from these fields cross the area daily, along with overflights riding the airways above.
The scope names what deserves naming: military movements, air ambulances, coastguard and rescue aircraft, warbirds, AWACS and tankers, and the occasional whale-shaped oddball all wear their own badges.
