Tiger Meets Kkachi

Two Cities. Two Symbols. One Sky

Tiger Meets Kkachi

Vladivostok UHWW — Seoul/Incheon RKSI Across the Sea, Under One Sky

Where the hills of Vladivostok descend toward the sea and the endless lights of Greater Seoul stretch along the coast, two iconic symbols of the Far East meet in one shared sky.

The Amur Tiger — a symbol of strength, wilderness, Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai, and the Russian Far East — meets Kkachi, the Korean magpie, a traditional messenger of good news and one of the most recognizable figures in Korean folk culture.

The name Tiger Meets Kkachi is inspired by the traditional Korean Kkachi Horangi motif — “Magpie and Tiger.” This time, however, their meeting takes place not beneath a pine tree in an old folk painting, but in the virtual skies between Vladivostok and Seoul.

Pilots are invited to fly between Vladivostok International Airport (UHWW) and Incheon International Airport (RKSI), the main international gateway to the Republic of Korea.

As evening falls, the event will offer a unique opportunity to enjoy the spectacular city lights of Vladivostok and Greater Seoul from the air — glowing bridges, coastlines, illuminated districts, and two very different yet equally impressive cities beneath your wings.

From the Golden Horn and the hills of Vladivostok to the lights of Seoul and Incheon, this route will connect the Russian Far East and Korea through one busy international corridor.

During the four-hour event, pilots can expect full ATC coverage on both sides, intensive international traffic, busy frequencies, and challenging departure and arrival procedures.

For the best experience during Tiger Meets Kkachi, we recommend that MSFS 2024 pilots install the free Vladivostok scenery available here:

The scenery adds Vladivostok’s famous bridges and landmarks, making the arrival much more realistic and enjoyable. We will also try to use an approach that gives pilots a great view of the city from the air.
