FLIGHT DETAILS
The Community Fly-In Friday World Tour continues!
After a beautiful flight from Oslo to Stockholm last week, our journey through the Nordics progresses as we continue onward to Helsinki, the capital of Finland! 
Helsinki holds the distinction of being the world’s northernmost metropolitan area with a population greater than one million people!
En route, we’ll have a touch & go landing in Turku, the country’s oldest city which is known as “the Paris of Finland” for its rich art, food, and cafe culture. We will also fly over several POIs along the way in both Sweden and Finland!
For the best experience, be sure to download and install the FREE World Updates V and XV: Nordics and City Update VII: European Cities II from the in-sim Marketplace.

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