WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER YUZHNO-SAKHALINSK?

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

Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk sits practically under the circuit at Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk International Airport — expect aircraft low, close and slowing down, with the interesting part of the flight happening right overhead.

Most traffic over Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk is working the nearby airports: Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk International Airport (UHSS), 4 NM away; Dolinsk-Sokol Air Base (RU-1892), 19 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.
