FLIGHT DETAILS
The Community Fly-In Friday World Tour continues!
This week, we leave the beautiful Austrian and Swiss Alps behind us as we travel across Switzerland and into Germany’s 
Bavaria state! Bavaria is recognized around the world as a region with incredibly rich culture and history, but perhaps it is most famously known for the Reinheitsgebot (beer purity law) of 1516 which regulates the ingredients of beer to only include barley, hops, and water.
Every year, millions of tourists both from within Germany and from foreign countries travel to Munich for the annual Oktoberfest celebration. Our group flight will arrive in Bavaria just in time for the start of Oktoberfest on Saturday!
For the best experience, be sure to download the FREE World Updates VI & XVIII: Germany, Austria, and Switzerland from the in-sim Marketplace.

LET’S FLY
This is meant to be a fun and informal flight. Everybody is welcome, no matter the amount of experience.
