WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER ROSTOV-ON-DON?
Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Rostov-on-Don 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.
Rostov-on-Don sits practically under the circuit at Rostov-on-Don Central Air Base — expect aircraft low, close and slowing down, with the interesting part of the flight happening right overhead. A city of 1.1 million keeps its sky busy from first departures to the late freight.
Most traffic over Rostov-on-Don is working the nearby airports: Rostov-on-Don Central Air Base (RU-0372), 5 NM away; Platov International Airport (URRP), 19 NM away; Taganrog Tsentralny Air Base (RU-0211), 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.
