๐ฎ๐ณ Bengaluru, India
Bengaluru is one of the largest population centres on Earth. Real-Earth coordinates 12.972ยฐ, 77.558ยฐ, population 6,787,000. Skyline in every direction and an approach that never quite ends โ one of the more demanding places to fly low and fast. Skydex flies the real Earth here โ 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.
