WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER PAECH'ON-UP?

Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Paech'on-up 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 Haeju Airfield, 25 NM out — near enough that Paech'on-up watches climbing departures and descending arrivals rather than distant contrails.

Most traffic over Paech'on-up is working the nearby airports: Haeju Airfield (KP-0002), 25 NM away; Incheon International Airport (RKSI), 32 NM away; Gimpo International Airport (RKSS), 35 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.
