WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER SARIWON-SI?
Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Sariwon-si 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 Hwangju Airbase, 9 NM out — near enough that Sariwon-si watches climbing departures and descending arrivals rather than distant contrails.
Most traffic over Sariwon-si is working the nearby airports: Hwangju Airbase (KP-0020), 9 NM away; Uthachi Highway Strip Airport (KP-0041), 25 NM away; Haeju Airfield (KP-0002), 30 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.
