Ohio River Valley

Appalachian Plateau
A high-altitude region characterized by deeply dissected valleys and flat-topped hills.
Pilot Mountain
A distinct, isolated metamorphic rock peak that rises sharply from the surrounding landscape.
Winston-Salem
Aerial views of the Piedmont Triad's urban centers during the descent.
Uptown Charlotte
If the flight approaches from the south, the right side often gets a sweeping view of the Charlotte skyline.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the mountains. Look for the unique profile of Pilot Mountain approximately 20 minutes before landing, which is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the region.
