Boston Skyline
Stunning views of the Back Bay, Charles River, and Fenway Park shortly after departing Logan Airport.
Catskill Mountains
The rugged, forested peaks of southeastern New York state providing a dramatic landscape transition.
Allegheny Plateau
Deeply dissected plateaus and wild forest lands across West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky.
Ohio River
The massive, winding waterway that defines the border between the Midwest and the South.
Downtown Nashville
Excellent views of the 'Batman Building' and the Cumberland River if landing from the north.
The right side is superior for city photography at both ends of the trip. After takeoff, look down quickly to catch the dense urban core of Boston. On arrival, if the plane approaches BNA from the north (Runways 2L/2C/2R), the right side provides a panoramic view of the Music City skyline.

Aerial view of the historic harbor islands and the Atlantic coastline during the initial climb.
Susquehanna River
A wide crossing of one of the oldest rivers in the world as the flight passes over Pennsylvania.
Blue Ridge Mountains
The distinctive rolling blue ridges of the Appalachian chain visible through Virginia and Tennessee.
Percy Priest Lake
A large reservoir visible on the southeastern outskirts of Nashville during the descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. It is particularly scenic during autumn when the Appalachian forests transition to vibrant colors. Keep an eye out for the Chesapeake Bay in the distance as you pass over the Mid-Atlantic region.
