MSFS Bush Pilots Presents: JAPAN!
We invite all sim pilots to join us for an in-depth multi-leg tour of the islands of Japan. In this series of 24 flights we will take our favorite bush planes and fly low and slow over the mountains, lakes, rivers, cities, farms and highways of this spectacular country. Including over 100 points of interest, we will explore Japanese history and myth, share cultural trivia and travel stories, and just have fun flying. This is the closest you will get to Japan without a passport. Join us for this aerial adventure!
