Susquehanna River West Branch
Dramatic views of the river winding through the deep valleys immediately after takeoff from Williamsport.
Blue Mountain Ridge
The distinct, long southern ridge of the Appalachian Mountains that marks the transition into the Piedmont region.
Philadelphia Center City
A classic view of the skyscrapers, including the Comcast Technology Center, as the plane aligns for landing.
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Visible just northwest of the city center, overlooking the Schuylkill River and the 'Rocky Steps'.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the city skyline during the descent. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better lighting for photos without window glare. Look for the distinctive 'Pagoda' in Reading if the flight path stays slightly north.
