Greetings Pilots!
2020 is coming to an end (hopefully!), but we managed to squeeze in one more significant update for you. Thank you for your patience so far. Thanks for supporting our game and providing us valuable feedback throughout the year!
We hope that Heliborne, despite turbulence, was an enjoyable destination during the compulsory lockdowns, and hopefully, next year, there are going to be voluntary entries only ;-)
