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, @simtom, @AlyKatz, @dTwotonemurphy, and @westcstwilly

FLIGHT DETAILS
The Community Fly-In Friday World Tour continues, and now for the first time in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 as well!
This week, we’re departing Poland and flying to our next world capital city, Minsk!
We also have a very special in-flight entertainment video featuring members of the MSFS Team and player community! We will broadcast the video upon reaching cruise altitude, with several members of the cast and crew joining for an audience Q&A following the approximately 45-minute performance. Long-time attendees of past Fly-In Friday events may remember this from previous years, but for many new viewers who have joined our group flights recently, this will be their first opportunity to see this special performance. Please no spoilers in chat from people who are already familiar with this video!

AIRCRAFT
