Immediate views of the sprawling Lake Monroe and the winding St. Johns River following takeoff from Sanford.

A potential view of the 'Queen City' and its stadium district along the banks of the Ohio River.
Indiana Patchwork
Geometric patterns of colorful farmland and rural homesteads characteristic of the approach into Fort Wayne.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Sanford area upon ascent. On evening flights, this side will experience the sunset over the Appalachian range, providing dramatic lighting and silhouettes of the ridges. Aim for a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion during mountain photography.

Ohio River Crossing
Views of the wide Ohio River, often dotted with barges and connected by historic bridges near the state borders.
Allen County Suburbs

The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic coastal plain in the distance. During the winter, look for snow-dusted ridges in the Blue Ridge mountains. This side typically stays cooler and has less sun glare during afternoon flights heading north.
