🇲🇽 Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City is the capital of Mexico. Real-Earth coordinates 19.444°, -99.133°, population 19,028,000. 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.
