Aegean Archipelago
Distant views of the Cyclades islands scattered across the blue Aegean Sea.
Pindus Mountains
The massive 'spine of Greece' with deep gorges and high limestone ridges.
Eastern Alps
Jagged mountain ranges of Austria and the border regions with the Czech Republic.

Middelgrunden Wind Farm

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the Pindus mountains shortly after takeoff. The absolute highlight is the final approach into CPH; you will likely see the Øresund Bridge and the Copenhagen city center. Sit behind the wing for the best photo angles of the bridge during the descent.
