Search flights from BFD to JHW
Allegheny Reservoir
A vast, winding body of water with dramatic shorelines that dominate the view shortly after takeoff.
Kinzua Dam
The massive flood control structure is highly visible from low altitudes, marking the southern end of the reservoir.
Chautauqua Lake
Visible in the distance on the final approach into Jamestown, signaling the transition into New York state.
This is an extremely short flight, so have your camera ready immediately after departure from BFD. The best lighting for the reservoir and dam occurs in the early morning when the water reflects the rising sun. In autumn, this side offers an unmatched perspective of the vibrant leaf changes reflecting off the water surface.
