View the rolling agricultural mosaic and rural landscapes of South Carolina and North Carolina.
Blue Ridge Spine
See the high peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains stretching toward the horizon to the east.
Ohio River Bend
During descent into HTS, the winding path of the Ohio River becomes visible, marking the border between West Virginia and Ohio.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic horizon in the distance. During the final approach into Huntington, watch for the industrial infrastructure and historical river locks along the Ohio River. This side often provides a better view of the downtown Huntington skyline if the wind requires a northern approach.
