🇸🇰 Bratislava, Slovakia
Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia. Real-Earth coordinates 48.150°, 17.117°, population 423,737. 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.
