Susquehanna River
Watch the broad, shallow river carve through the central Pennsylvania valley floor.
Appalachian Ridges
Observe the unique 'Ridge and Valley' formation of the Appalachians with perfectly parallel mountain chains.

Cincinnati Downtown
On common southern arrival paths, get a clear view of the Great American Ball Park and the city's bridges.

Pocono Mountains
View the rugged terrain and numerous recreational lakes of northeastern Pennsylvania during the initial cruise.
Pittsburgh Skyline
Look for the 'Golden Triangle' where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio River.
Ohio River Valley
The plane follows this major waterway for a significant portion of the descent into the Cincinnati area.
Rust Belt Industry
Observe the historical industrial complexes and steel mills dotting the riverbanks near the PA-OH border.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights to catch the orange glow reflecting off the Ohio River. If the flight path takes a more northerly route, the right side provides the best view of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area mid-flight. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion over the mountains.
