Space Coast
Potential distant views of Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center assembly buildings as you track north.

Pittsburgh Skyline
The 'Golden Triangle' and Point State Park are often visible during the standard approach to PIT from the south.
North Shore Stadiums
Get a bird's eye view of PNC Park and Acrisure Stadium as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the western sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight; if the pilot approaches from the east, you will get a perfect view of the city's unique geography where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio.
