Event Notes and Highlights:

 

The 2 event airports are 2 relatively well-equipped airports in 2 relatively remote areas on earth. This means you can bring almost any airliner for the flight, but you can also leave your comfort zone and experience the pristine beauty of nature, while testing your piloting skills in highly different environments - by departing from an airport deep in the Indian Ocean, then approaching into an airport located on the mountainous Norwegian coast.
