Chesapeake Bay
Witness the vast expanse of the bay and the intricate network of tributaries along the Maryland coastline.
New York Harbor
A premier view of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the soaring towers of the Financial District.
Long Island Sound
The transition from the dense urban sprawl of Queens to the affluent 'Gold Coast' beaches of the North Shore.
Narragansett Bay
A beautiful approach featuring the Newport Bridge and the various islands of Rhode Island before landing.
The right side is the 'coastal' side; book a morning flight to have the sun behind the plane, which perfectly illuminates the NYC skyline and the Atlantic water. During the final descent, watch closely for the historic mansions along the Newport cliff walk.
