This is an open event, free to all who would like to fly along with us and available to pilots of all skill levels. The goal is to have a great time, explore new locations of the world, and make new friends. This event is open to pilots on both sim versions (MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024) and both the PC and Xbox platforms.
Hosted by @SeedyL3205 and @NickFlightX
When: Friday, May 8 @ 1800Z for two hours.

FLIGHT DETAILS
This week we’re celebrating the release of World Update 21: Australia with a flight Down Under to the Australian Outback! Our flight plan will see us fly over Uluru, one of Australia’s most well-known landmarks and an area that is sacred to the local Aboriginal people.
Optional Payware Add-on: Simmers may choose to fly the new Local Legend 24: CAC Boomerang, an Australian-built fighter plane from WWII. This purchase is entirely optional and is not required to join this fly-in.
MSFS (2020) and MSFS 2024 Pilots on PC can download the .pln file here:
