Okefenokee Swamp
The vast, dark tea-colored waters and dense canopy of this prehistoric wetland are visible near the Florida-Georgia border.
Appalachian Edge
The eastern horizon features the rising ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the southern end of the Appalachian chain.
Cincinnati/Northern KY
Excellent views of the 'Queen City' and its sports stadiums nestled along the bend of the Ohio River.
Daniel Boone National Forest
Extensive views of the lush, rugged forest terrain covering eastern Kentucky.
Great Lakes Glimpse
On very clear days at high altitude, the distant hazy blue of Lake Erie may be visible to the northeast before landing.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look for the distinct change in topography from the flat coastal plains to the undulating hills of the Kentucky plateau. In autumn, this side offers spectacular views of the changing foliage over the national forests.

Charlotte Harbor
Aerial view of the Peace River entering the harbor and the Gulf of Mexico coastline shortly after takeoff.
Atlanta Metro
Frequent flight paths pass just west of Atlanta, offering views of the sprawling urban density and Hartsfield-Jackson airport.
Tennessee River
Dramatic views of the winding river as it snakes through the Tennessee Valley and the Cumberland Plateau.
Louisville Skyline
Clear sightlines of the Kentucky Derby city and its iconic bridges crossing the Ohio River into Indiana.

The geometric precision of Southern and Central Indiana farmland as you begin the final descent into Fort Wayne.
Sit on the left for better views of the Gulf Coast during departure and the city lights of Atlanta and Louisville if flying after sunset. During mid-day, glare from the western sun can be intense, so keep your window shade partially lowered.
