WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER FUKUI-SHI?

Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Fukui-shi 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.

Fukui-shi sits practically under the circuit at Fukui Airport — expect aircraft low, close and slowing down, with the interesting part of the flight happening right overhead.

Most traffic over Fukui-shi is working the nearby airports: Fukui Airport (RJNF), 5 NM away; Komatsu Airport / JASDF Komatsu Air Base (RJNK), 22 NM away; Gifu Airport (RJNG), 51 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. Search any town or postcode on the main scope to centre the radar on your own location, or pop it out full-screen for a second monitor.
