🇸🇾 Damascus, Syria
Damascus is the capital of Syria. Real-Earth coordinates 33.502°, 36.298°, population 2,466,000. 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.
