Lake Norman
The largest man-made body of fresh water in North Carolina, located just north of Charlotte.
Pilot Mountain
The distinctive quartzite monadnock rising abruptly from the surrounding Piedmont landscape.
New River Gorge
One of the oldest rivers on the continent, cutting a deep canyon through the West Virginia plateau.
Charleston Skyline
Look for the prominent 23-karat gold leaf dome of the West Virginia State Capitol building near the Kanawha River.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the Appalachian ridges. Keep a close eye out mid-flight for the Blue Ridge Parkway snaking through the mountains. Window seats are essential as this is a short, scenic flight mostly at lower altitudes.

As you descend, watch for the confluence of the Tug Fork and Levisa Fork forming the boundary between KY and WV.
