🇰🇿 Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan
Nur-Sultan is the capital of Kazakhstan. Real-Earth coordinates 51.181°, 71.428°, population 345,604. 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.
