WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER NNEWI?
Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Nnewi 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.
The nearest runway is at Asaba International Airport, 19 NM out — near enough that Nnewi watches climbing departures and descending arrivals rather than distant contrails.
Most traffic over Nnewi is working the nearby airports: Asaba International Airport (DNAS), 19 NM away; Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport (DNIM), 40 NM away; Akanu Ibiam International Airport (DNEN), 47 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.
