'where plane' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'no good in coastal fog' is the wordplay.
'no good' becomes 'ng' (abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'coastal fog' becomes 'haar' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ng' going into 'haar' is 'HANGAR'.

'could be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
