🇧🇯 Parakou, Benin
Parakou is a small town in Benin. Real-Earth coordinates 9.340°, 2.620°, population 188,853. Empty horizons, no traffic and nobody else in the air — the sort of place you go to fly a long, low line and see what the terrain does. 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.

What you can do here
- Fly Parakou in an FPV drone or as a gull, from 9.340°, 2.620° — keyboard and mouse, a gamepad, or a real RC transmitter over USB.
- Check the weather first: live wind, gusts and cloud over the city, plus the month-by-month flyable-days table above.
- Watch real traffic — aircraft overhead and ships on the water come from live ADS-B and AIS feeds, not from a script.
- Meet other pilots in the same sky: city chat room, radio, and the walkie-talkie frequency for Parakou.
