🇯🇵 Nagasaki, Japan
Nagasaki is a mid-sized city in Japan. Real-Earth coordinates 32.765°, 129.885°, population 435,455. Quiet airspace and open terrain a couple of minutes out — a forgiving place to learn the sticks before you take them somewhere tighter. 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.
