Columbus Metro
Visibility of Ohio's capital city and its dense urban core as you traverse the middle of the state.
Dayton & Wright-Patterson
The massive runways and hangars of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, a landmark of aviation history.
Agricultural Patchwork
An endless grid of Ohio and Indiana farm fields that change colors dramatically between seasons.
Sit on the left for the best chance to spot the Columbus and Dayton skylines mid-flight. For morning flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, potentially causing glare; afternoon flights offer much better lighting for photography of the rural landscape.

Lake Erie Shoreline
Initial views of the Great Lake's coast and Cleveland's industrial ports immediately after takeoff.
Grand Lake St. Marys
A prominent blue landmark in Western Ohio, once the largest man-made reservoir in the world.
Eagle Creek Reservoir
A large body of water located just northwest of Indianapolis, signaling the final approach into IND.
The right side is the 'shade side' for morning departures, making it more comfortable for viewing. During the descent into Indianapolis, keep your eyes peeled for the Eagle Creek Reservoir and the transition from rural fields to suburban Indianapolis.
