Boston is a major city of United States of America. Real-Earth coordinates 42.332°, -71.072°, population 4,467,000. A river or a coast to follow, tall enough buildings to make a proximity line interesting, and open airspace once you clear the centre. 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.

What you can do here

• Fly Boston in an FPV drone or as a gull, from 42.332°, -71.072° — keyboard and mouse, a gamepad, or a real RC transmitter over USB.

• Watch real traffic — aircraft overhead and ships on the water come from live ADS-B and AIS feeds, not from a script.
