FLIGHT DETAILS
July 14 is la fête nationale in France, commonly known as “Bastille Day” to English speakers. To celebrate France’s national holiday, our Community Fly-In Friday group flight this week will be a trip between that country’s two largest cities: Marseille and Paris.
One of the most popular Bastille Day festivities every year is a parade down Paris’s Champs-Élysées, so our group flight will include a fly over of this famous street and its iconic Arc de Triomphe.
Suggested Marketplace Add-on: We suggest flying the newly-released Carenado DO228 for this flight. Please note that this aircraft is recommended but is not required to participate in Community Fly-In Friday.
MSFS (2020) and MSFS 2024 Pilots on PC can download the .pln file here:
