Explorer Flight Missions: Airliners - June 2022
Following the success of our initial rollout of Explorer Flight Missions, consequent missions, and last month’s missions, where we enjoyed some quaint island airports, this month’s edition is perfectly timed with plethora of airliners recently released as we travel to the 5 busiest airports in the world based on 2019 passenger count (before Covid-19 made a mess of things).
As always, make sure you choose an appropriate aircraft and conduct proper flight planning. Let the adventure begin! Thank you to TPC Staff member Evan for an exciting selection this month!
