Downtown Morgantown
Aerial perspective of the city center and the unique Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system.
WVU Campus
Clear views of Milan Puskar Stadium and the sprawling West Virginia University facilities.
Monongahela River
Follow the northern flow of this historic river as it meanders through the valley.
I-79 High Tech Corridor
The main transit artery connecting Morgantown and Clarksburg, surrounded by rolling hills.
This is the best side for evening flights as the sun sets over the western hills. The proximity to the ground on this short 'puddle-jump' flight means you can see specific landmarks like the WVU stadium in great detail. Keep your camera ready as soon as the plane leaves the runway for the urban highlights.

Cheat Lake
A beautiful reservoir located just east of Morgantown, often visible shortly after departure.
Coopers Rock State Forest
Dense forest canopy and rugged rock formations of the Cheat River Gorge area.
Chestnut Ridge
The westernmost ridge of the Allegheny Mountains, providing a dramatic vertical backdrop.
Tygart Valley River
A winding waterway that flows north toward Fairmont, cutting through the green hills.
Sit on this side during morning flights for the best light on the Appalachian ridges. During the fall season (October), this side offers the most vibrant views of the changing foliage. Watch for the distinct blue waters of Cheat Lake almost immediately after wheels up from MGW.
