Shortly after takeoff, view the 'City Beautiful' known for its heavy tree canopy and historic architecture.
Meridian Skyline

Talladega National Forest
Fly over the southern tip of the Appalachian range, characterized by dense pine and hardwood ridges.
Cheaha Mountain
Spot the highest point in Alabama, located in the Talladega Mountains, visible to the North.
Atlanta Skyline
During the descent into ATL, the left side often provides a distant view of the Midtown and Downtown skyscrapers.
Sit on the left side (Seat A/B) for the best chance of seeing the Atlanta skyline if the aircraft approaches from the west and turns base toward the north. Evening flights are particularly scenic as the sun illuminates the Appalachian foothills to your north.
