Charleston Lowcountry
Stunning aerial views of the Atlantic coastline, marshlands, and Charleston harbor immediately after takeoff.
Shenandoah Valley
Distant but clear views of the eastern edge of the Appalachian plateau and the fertile Shenandoah corridor.
Cleveland Skyline
A prime view of the Terminal Tower and downtown skyscrapers when the flight paths approach from the east.
Lake Erie Shoreline
The vast, ocean-like expanse of the Great Lake becomes visible as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
