Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the most unique geological features in the Southeast, including the vibrant colors of Providence Canyon and the vast waters of Lake Eufaula.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Lake Eufaula

A massive 45,000-acre reservoir known as the 'Bass Capital of the World' spanning the AL/GA border.

🏜️

Providence Canyon

Often called Georgia's 'Little Grand Canyon,' the bright orange and red clay pipes are clearly visible from cruising altitude.

🚤

West Point Lake

Another massive reservoir featuring over 500 miles of shoreline on the Chattahoochee River.

🚜

Georgia Farm Lands

Vibrant patterns of peanut and cotton fields that define the agricultural landscape of Southwest Georgia.

The right side is ideal for morning flights when the rising sun illuminates the red clay of Providence Canyon. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes into the flight for the best landscape shots. As you enter the ATL traffic pattern, this side provides a great view of the airport's massive southern cargo and hangar complexes.

Left Side Highlights

🚁

Fort Novosel

View the extensive helipads and training grounds of the Army's primary flight training base.

🏙️

Columbus Skyline

Observe the urban center of Columbus and Phenix City divided by the winding Chattahoochee River.

🌲

Pine Mountain Ridge

Spot the southernmost foothills of the Appalachians and the lush greenery of Callaway Gardens.

🏟️

Atlanta Skyline

On the final approach, the left side typically offers the best view of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the Downtown skyline.

Choose the left side for evening flights; as you descend into Atlanta, the city lights provide a spectacular urban panorama. During descent, look for the unique architecture of the Porsche Experience Center test track just south of the airport runways.
