Lake Murray
A massive, irregularly shaped reservoir in South Carolina known for its extensive shoreline and boating activity.
Okefenokee Swamp
The vast, dark, and mysterious wetlands straddling the Georgia-Florida border, visible as a massive dark patch of terrain.
St. Johns River Serpentine
The right side offers a closer look at the winding, northward-flowing St. Johns River as it snakes through the Florida interior.
Lake George
A large, shallow lake that is a prominent landmark during the final stages of the flight into the Sanford area.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to enjoy the sunset without the intense glare of the sun directly in your window. It also offers a better view of the 'Lakes District' of Central Florida during the final minutes of flight, which is particularly beautiful during the golden hour.
