Susquehanna River
Immediately after takeoff from MDT, catch a bird's-eye view of the winding river bisecting Pennsylvania.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Panoramic vistas of the rolling, often mist-covered peaks of the Appalachian range.
Charlotte Skyline
The high-rise 'Uptown' district of North Carolina's largest city is frequently visible mid-flight.
Ocala National Forest
A vast expanse of green canopy that signals your arrival into the heart of Florida.
Lake Monroe
The massive lake located directly adjacent to Sanford Airport, seen clearly during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. You will have superior views of the mountain terrain in Virginia and North Carolina. In autumn, this side offers spectacular views of the changing foliage. During the descent into SFB, keep your camera ready for the numerous circular sinkhole lakes characteristic of Central Florida.

The world's largest naval base and the coastal scenery around Norfolk and Virginia Beach.

Charleston Harbor

Northeast Florida Swamps

Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is better for observing the coastline, though you will be flying a few dozen miles inland for most of the trip. Look for the distinct transition from the dense forests of the Carolinas to the marshy lowlands of Georgia and Florida.
