We will be hosting an Official Fly-in alongside a group of community members (you!) on Twitch. 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 @Pieter2427
When: Friday, June 27 @ 1800Z for two hours.

FLIGHT DETAILS
FlightSimExpo 2025, North America’s largest gathering of flight sim enthusiasts, is taking place this weekend in Providence, Rhode Island! While the MSFS team will not be present this year because we’re hard at work delivering MSFS 2024 SU3 and MSFS (2020) SU16, we wish everyone who will be attending safe travels and an enjoyable weekend with fellow members of the flight sim community!
To celebrate the event, our Fly-In Friday destination this week will be a southbound journey along coastal New England, starting in Bangor and ending in Providence, site of FSExpo 2025. While en route, we will also make touch & go landings at Portland, Boston, and Cape Cod.
