Nantucket Harbor
Bird's-eye view of the historic downtown wharves and the densely packed cedar-shingled houses immediately after takeoff.
Hyannis Port
View of the Kennedy Compound and the bustling harbor of Mid-Cape as the plane crosses over from the Sound.
Plymouth Shoreline
Glimpses of the historic South Shore coastline, including the mouth of the Jones River and Duxbury Pier Light.
Boston Skyline
A spectacular panorama of the Financial District, Back Bay, and the Zakim Bridge during the final approach phase.
Sit on the left for the best chance of a 'city view' landing. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the coastline. On clear days, you can see as far west as the Blue Hills Reservation during the descent.
