#ZKPY

2024-01-15

I did two flights in my #MSFS #FlightSim around the world today, since both were pretty short. First was Seoul-Gimpo #RKSS up to Pyongyang-Sunan #ZKPY, and from there to Beijing-Daxing #ZBAD.

I have a ton of real life flight plans loaded up whenever I do this, and there was not a single plane but mine (and another MSFS user) over North Korean airspace the entire time. When I crossed in to Chinese air space, there were so many planes flying round that it broke text-to-speech for the ATC. The Hermit Kingdom indeed.

Fun fact: The direct VFR flight path from Gimpo to Sunan goes right over the Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang.
