Fly the real world. Land at real airports.

🪙 Earn coins

Real coastlines, real airports, ATC on the radio. Bigger jets need bigger runways — and airports close, traffic builds, and restricted airspace pops up while you fly. On a computer: turn/throttle with ← → ↑ ↓ (climb Q, descend A). On a phone: drag anywhere to steer toward your finger, and use the ▲▼ buttons for throttle. Slow right down over a green ring to land and refuel.

New: winds aloft (pick a level with a tailwind), contracts on the clock, graded landings — line up with the field and come in low and slow for a 🧈 butter — and in-flight emergencies. Every run builds your pilot rank.

📱 iPhone tip: for true full-screen with no browser bars, tap Share → Add to Home Screen, then open TJ-Aero from the icon.

You are flying as a guest. Everything works — the world, the weather, the ATC. Nothing is kept: no score, no airports, no aircraft.

Your pilot career

Earn XP with smooth landings (🧈 butter pays most), charters delivered on time, and emergencies handled well.

How do you want to fly?

Distance and landings still count; charter points do not, because there are no charters.

The game is the smallest thing here

TJ-Aero is where business-aviation professionals keep what they know about airports, countries, handlers and fees — permits and lead times, slot tolerances, customs hours, what the ramp is actually like at 0200. Members earn coins for contributing it, and spend them here.
