Atlanta Cityscape

Unrivaled views of Midtown, Downtown, and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium during initial climb.

Lush rolling hills representing the southernmost extent of the Appalachian region.

🏙️

Birmingham Vistas

The industrial heart of Alabama, featuring views of Vulcan Park and the city center.

🌊

Ross Barnett Reservoir

The massive water body serving as a landmark indicator for arrival into Jackson.

Chattahoochee River

View the winding southern stretches of this major waterway shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Montgomery Skyline

Glimpse the Alabama state capital and its historic downtown area in the distance.
