FAR → PIE

Mississippi River

Watch for the massive, winding path of the Mississippi River as the flight path crosses near the St. Louis or Memphis regions.

The Ozarks

To the west, you can see the rolling, forested terrain of the Ozark Plateau as you move through the mid-continental U.S.

Gulf of Mexico

Upon reaching the Florida Panhandle, the view transitions to the emerald waters and white sands of the Gulf Coast.

Sunshine Skyway Bridge

During the final descent into PIE, the massive yellow-cabled bridge is often visible spanning the mouth of Tampa Bay.

St. Pete Coastline

The right side provides a front-row seat to the marinas, barrier islands, and coastal developments of the St. Petersburg area.

Midwestern Mosaic

The geometric patterns of the Great Plains and Midwestern farmlands create a massive patchwork quilt effect early in the flight.

Urban Centers

Depending on the specific airway, you may catch distant views of the Chicago skyline or the sprawl of Indianapolis.

Florida Lake District

As you enter central Florida, the landscape is dotted with thousands of small, circular sinkhole lakes near the Orlando area.
