🇱🇾 Tripoli, Libya
Tripoli is the capital of Libya. Real-Earth coordinates 32.893°, 13.180°, population 2,189,000. 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.

What you can do here
- Fly Tripoli in an FPV drone or as a gull, from 32.893°, 13.180° — 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 Tripoli.
