Everglades National Park
Aerial views of the massive subtropical wilderness and sawgrass marshes of Southern Florida shortly after departure.
Emerald Coast
The stunning white-sand beaches and turquoise waters of the Florida Panhandle visible during the mid-flight transition.
Mobile Bay
Vibrant views of the Alabama coastline and the strategic port of Mobile as you head north.
Tennessee River
