WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER SUEZ?
Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Suez 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 airport of any size, Capital International Airport, is a good 36 NM away — so the sky over Suez is mostly cruise-level overflights with nowhere local to be.
Most traffic over Suez is working the nearby airports: Capital International Airport (HECP), 36 NM away; Al Ismailiyya Air Base (HEIS), 40 NM away; Abu Suwayr Air Base (HE35), 42 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.
