🇹🇿 Dodoma, Tanzania
Dodoma is the capital of Tanzania. Real-Earth coordinates -6.183°, 35.750°, population 218,269. 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.
