🇦🇱 Tirana, Albania
Tirana is the capital of Albania. Real-Earth coordinates 41.328°, 19.819°, population 895,350. The busiest sky in the country — monuments to circle, other pilots in the air and the city's own tower frequency on the radio. Skydex flies the real Earth here — the elevation, coastline and city layout under the aircraft come from the same data the map does, and the sky is shared with everyone else flying it.
