Birmingham Metro
Industrial landscapes and the rolling hills surrounding Alabama's largest city, including the Vulcan statue area.
Talladega National Forest
Dense expanses of southern pine and hardwood forests covering the undulating terrain of eastern Alabama.
Mississippi River Bends
The dramatic, winding path of the Mississippi River, featuring prominent oxbow lakes near the Vicksburg crossing.
Lake Bistineau
A scenic, cypress-filled lake located just east of the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area.
Morning flights are best on the right side to keep the sun at your back, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Mississippi River. The river crossing occurs roughly 45-50 minutes into the flight; keep your camera ready for the distinctive U-shaped oxbow lakes that mark the state border.
