Space Coast Horizon
On clear days, see the distant Atlantic coastline and the Merritt Island area during initial climb.
Appalachian Foothills
The rugged terrain of the southern Appalachian range transitions into rolling hills.
Lookout Mountain
The distinct ridge line near Chattanooga is often visible as you transition into Tennessee.
Land Between the Lakes
Spectacular views of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, two of the largest reservoirs in the region.
Midwest Heartland
Orderly grid patterns of Illinois farmland create a patchwork quilt effect during the approach.
The right side is ideal for capturing the 'Land Between the Lakes' in Kentucky, which is a major visual highlight of this route. Late afternoon flights on this side offer beautiful 'golden hour' lighting over the rolling hills of Tennessee. Ensure you are not over the wing to fully appreciate the dramatic transition from Florida lakes to Appalachian ridges.

St. Johns River
Dramatic views of the winding river and Lake Monroe immediately after takeoff from SFB.
Georgia Plains
Vast agricultural landscapes and rural townships through the heart of Georgia and Alabama.
Tennessee River
Aerial view of the river's wide bends as the flight crosses into the Tennessee Valley.
Shawnee National Forest
The dense canopy of Southern Illinois' largest forest marks the beginning of your descent.
St. Louis Skyline
Depending on the wind and approach pattern, the Gateway Arch may be visible in the distance.
Sit on the left for a potential view of the St. Louis skyline during the final descent into MidAmerica. Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, reducing glare on the window. Window seats in the front of the aircraft provide the best unobstructed view of the Florida wetlands during the steep climb-out.
