FLIGHT DETAILS
World Update XIII: Oceania is here! To celebrate the release, this week’s Community Fly-In will be an island-hopping tour in French Polynesia 
. Our flight plan will see us visit the stunningly beautiful islands of Tahiti and Bora Bora with their picturesque beaches 
and famous floating cabana resorts. 
Be sure to download and install the free World Update from the in-sim Marketplace to best experience the scenery during this flight. We also suggest flying a float plane or amphib so you can land on the water.
