Lake Michigan Coastline
Unobstructed views of the Milwaukee lakefront and the vast blue expanse of Lake Michigan immediately upon departure.

Scenic vistas of the rolling Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains as the flight crosses through Kentucky and Tennessee.

Chicago Skyline
Depending on the departure corridor, the Willis Tower and Chicago's massive urban sprawl may be visible in the distance to the southwest.
Ohio River
A clear view of the winding Ohio River as it snakes through the border regions of Indiana and Kentucky.
Orlando Theme Parks
During the final approach into MCO, look for the iconic structures of Walt Disney World and Universal Studios to the west.
Lake Tohopekaliga
