Full Circle Aero flies to help people rediscover their Earth. Through flight simulation, we illuminate the geography, geology, cultures, and histories that shape our shared world—one immersive journey at a time.
Our mission depends on a thriving YouTube community. As our channel grows, we’ll return a portion of that success to the people who make it possible, awarding a share of our YouTube revenue to top performers in the FlightGuessr Global Challenge.
FlightGuessr is a YouTube challenge where an airplane is the vantage point from which you're challenged to solve a Geography mystery.
We’re starting simple with our first series: FlightGuessr — LANDINGS at Secret Cities.
You’re riding along on final approach… but you don’t know where. Your job is to name The Secret City before anyone else in the comments section. Do that, and you win eternal glory on our Wall of Fame.
You'll also receive FlightGuessr Global Challenge Points that will be used to determine both the Weekly and Season winners. There's special recognition for each of those achievements.
But wait, there's more!
Help us grow and help yourself to more points and maybe some cash rewards! Each Episode winner will be awarded a 5% share of any revenue generated by that video for a period of one year from the date of the win. Our creative department will repurpose previously-aired videos in our effort to maximize views of your video!
You’ll get clues — lots of them:
And the landing itself? Well… sometimes it’s smooth, sometimes it’s “virtually tragic,” but nobody gets hurt except the pilot's pride.
Join us for a FlightGuessr Global Challenge flight soon. Let’s see how fast you can name The Secret City!

The Secret City is the city where the aircraft is on final approach to land in each episode.
The first YouTube subscriber to correctly name the Secret City in the YouTube comments wins. Airport codes (ICAO or IATA) are also acceptable. Moderators may accept answers that reasonably refer to the same metro area.
Comments in our FlightGuessr videos are limited to subscribers — therefore, you must be a YouTube subscriber to win.
Each subscriber may submit only one guess per episode. Multiple guesses disqualify the entry for that episode. Edited comments are not eligible; the original unedited timestamp determines validity.
Winners are added to the FlightGuessr Wall of Fame at FullCircleAero.com. Weekly and Season champions receive special recognition.
Winners earn points toward Weekly and Season standings. Points = (Number of subscribers at the start of the next week) × (Difficulty Multiplier). The current Difficulty Multiplier for Beginner Mode is 1.
Each episode winner receives 5% of any gross revenue generated by that video for one year from the date of the win. Payments are issued quarterly. Some episodes may include a livestream of the flight.
Each episode winner receives 5% of any gross revenue generated by all FlightGuessr videos shown during that week for one year from the date of the win. Payments are issued quarterly. Some episodes may include a livestream of the flight.
The top points winner at the end of the 12‑week Season receives 5% of the gross revenue generated by all FlightGuessr videos during that Season.
AI tools may be used to interpret clues (such as analyzing lyrics, music, geography hints, or contextual information). However, automated systems that directly identify the landing city or airport from the video or imagery are prohibited. All guesses must be made by a human. Moderator decisions are final.
In the event of identical timestamps, moderators will determine the winner based on YouTube’s internal ordering.
Moderator decisions are final in determining winners, point awards, and rule interpretations.
The Full Circle flight crew has gathered their best advice to help you rise from casual guesser to championship‑level FlightGuessr strategist.
“Start with the music, darling.” Everyone stares at the map inset waiting for the big reveal, but the soundtrack is practically whispering clues from the moment the video starts. If the lyrics are in the description, use them. If I were playing, I’d toss those lyrics straight into an AI chat and see what comes back. You’ll get a handful of possibilities — and one of them might just be the golden ticket.
If the music isn’t talking to you, the map will. Landmarks, coastlines, rivers, weird shapes — they’re all breadcrumbs. Google Earth is great, but if you’re already using AI for the music, you might as well let it chew on the geography too.
“And remember: we don’t teleport to the destination.” We fly there. A separate livestream may show the entire journey, map inset and all. Bob loves pointing out mountains and lakes like he’s narrating a nature documentary. If you watch the livestream, the FlightGuessr episode later will feel like déjà vu.
Think of the livestream as the class, and the FlightGuessr episode as the quiz — a very open‑book quiz. But if the word “quiz” makes you break out in hives, pretend I never said that.
“If I were playing, I’d run a full surveillance campaign.” Full Circle Charters goes wherever people pay us to go, and the company claims we’re supposed to log our flights in the Pilots Log. We’re… inconsistent. But sometimes there’s gold in there.
Our flights are tracked. Find us on the FSHub tracker — look for “Full Circle.” Just remember FlightGuessr episodes aren’t live, so don’t expect the tracker to match the episode timing.
“Pay attention to the aircraft.” If it’s a Buffalo Airways plane, odds are good we’re heading somewhere from Ice Pilots NWT. Sometimes the episode description even name‑drops a specific Ice Pilots episode.
If it’s not Buffalo, it’s one of ours — and we have a few milk runs we fly over and over. The tracker will tell you where our planes have been lurking. If you see our Twin Otter bouncing around Venezuela, it’s not suddenly going to appear in Sweden. Track the flights, gather intel, build your case. That’s how you win.
“Bob has way too much time on his hands. It’s really not that complicated. "Ain’t nobody got time for all that"...unless they want to be a Championship-level FlightGuessr, I guess. It IS going to get harder when we roll out trickier levels, though.
