🇨🇭 Bern, Switzerland
Bern is the capital of Switzerland. Real-Earth coordinates 46.917°, 7.467°, population 275,329. 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.
