Longing for crowded airspace and enjoying short hops with full ATC coverage? We got you!
All the featured airports are within 1,5 hrs flight time, allowing you to enjoy many well detailed 3D airports, beautiful Baltic and Nordic sceneries, and if we are lucky enough,
also some gusty winds for your approaches.
