WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER XAI-XAI?

Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Xai-Xai 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.

There's no sizeable airport close to Xai-Xai, which makes its scope a connoisseur's picture: high overflights riding the airways, the odd helicopter working, and anything unusual standing right out.

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.
