Stunning departure views of the Pinellas County beaches and the emerald waters of the Gulf.
Mississippi River
A classic aerial view of the massive river winding through the heart of the country.
Heartland Grids
Infinite geometric patterns of Iowa and Missouri farmland creating a natural quilt work.
Des Moines Skyline

Red River Valley
The extremely flat and fertile basin floor marking the final approach into Fargo.
Sit on the left for sunset flights to catch the colors over the horizon, though be prepared for glare during mid-day flights. This side provides the best perspective of the river systems in the Midwest. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the distinct grid patterns of the Red River Valley.

Appalachian Foothills

The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, reducing window glare. It offers a better look at the urban sprawl of the Florida Suncoast during departure. In winter, look for the 'snow line' where the landscape transitions from green to white, usually over Iowa or Minnesota.
