🇧🇷 Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Belo Horizonte is one of the largest population centres on Earth. Real-Earth coordinates -19.913°, -43.917°, population 5,575,000. Skyline in every direction and an approach that never quite ends — one of the more demanding places to fly low and fast. 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.
