Blue Ridge Peaks
Distant views of the Appalachian range to the northwest during the first thirty minutes of flight.
Chattahoochee Forest
Deep green protected wilderness areas stretching across the Georgia-Alabama border.
Birmingham Silhouette
The 'Magic City' skyline framed against the Red Mountain ridge in central Alabama.
Mississippi River Meanders
Stunning oxbow lakes and the main channel of the Mississippi River appearing as you descend.
Atchafalaya Basin
The expansive wetlands and cypress swamps characteristic of the Louisiana landscape near Baton Rouge.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, as the light reflects beautifully off the Mississippi River oxbows. Watch for the massive Horace Wilkinson Bridge as you enter the BTR airspace, which is often visible during the final approach pattern.

A clear view of the 'Queen City' skyline immediately following takeoff from CLT.
Piedmont Plateau
Rolling hills and dense pine canopies across South Carolina and Northern Georgia.
Atlanta Metro Sprawl
Peripheral views of the massive urban expansion and busy transit corridors of the South's largest hub.
Montgomery, Alabama
The capital city and the winding Alabama River visible as the flight crosses into the Deep South.
Gulf Coastal Plain
The terrain flattens significantly into agricultural grids as you approach the Louisiana border.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is also excellent for spotting the urban layouts of mid-sized southern cities during the transition from the Piedmont to the coastal plains.
