Aussie Group Flights: Scenic Heli - Washington DC Updated

Group flights, Aussie style. Aussie Group Flights Team is the ultimate way to explore the world with your favourite people.

Scenic flights are focused around the POIs created by Asobo with the World updates. In this event, we will focus on the area around Washington DC.

You are welcome to choose any GA aircraft but I’m suggesting a Helicopter capable of at least 120knots for the event.


Added two new POIs: Washington National Cathedral and Arboretum

Details to follow. Hope you can join us.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS INFORMATION IS FOR FLIGHT SIMULATION USE ONLY.
