Bear Meets Dragon
On October 24, 2026, we invite you to the international aviation event BEAR MEETS DRAGON, which will connect two cities, two cultures, and two teams of air traffic controllers!
Our journey begins in Harbin (ZYHB) - an amazing Chinese city that, thanks to its history and architectural heritage, has earned the romantic nickname "Moscow of the East".
From here, we will head northeast, towards the Russian Far East, to finish the flight in Khabarovsk (UHHH) - a city on the banks of the mighty Amur River.
On this day, Chinese and Russian air traffic controllers will join forces to provide pilots with an exciting international flight with realistic radio exchange and the atmosphere of real aviation.
🌍 Getting ready for WorldFlight 2026!
And this isn't just another international flight! Very soon, participants in the round-the-world charity marathon WorldFlight 2026 will travel the same route—from Harbin to Khabarovsk!
BEAR MEETS DRAGON is a great opportunity to get acquainted with the route in advance, study airport maps, practice interacting with Chinese and Russian air traffic controllers, and prepare for one of the largest virtual aviation events!
And while the Bear and the Dragon may look menacing, this time they're not going to find out who's stronger. Their task is much more interesting - to unite two skies with one route!
