Manhattan Skyline
A breathtaking view of the New York City skyscrapers shortly after takeoff from JFK.
Chesapeake Bay
Extensive views of the bridge-tunnels and the intricate waterways of Maryland and Virginia.
Lowcountry Rivers
The winding river systems surrounding historic Charleston and Savannah.
The Everglades
The vast, unique wetland ecosystem of South Florida during the final approach into FLL.
Florida Gold Coast
The dense urban sprawl and canal systems of the Fort Lauderdale and Miami metro areas.
The Right Side is preferred for evening flights to enjoy the city lights of the East Coast without the glare of the sun. If the flight arrives from the west, you will get a prime view of the sawgrass prairies. Use a polarizing filter on your camera to capture the deep blues of the Chesapeake Bay.
