Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford) to Owensboro Daviess County Airport (Owensboro)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of major urban centers like Atlanta and Nashville, along with the distinct transition from Florida wetlands to the Appalachian foothills.
Okefenokee Swamp
A unique, dark-water landscape visible as the flight crosses from Florida into Georgia.
Atlanta Metro Sprawl
The dense urban center of the South, often including a distant view of the world's busiest airport.
Appalachian Foothills
The terrain begins to ripple with the first ridges of the Blue Ridge mountains to the northeast.
Nashville Skyline
Clear views of the 'Music City' skyscrapers, including the iconic AT&T 'Batman' building.
Western Kentucky Farmland
A beautiful geometric pattern of agricultural fields during the final descent into Owensboro.
The right side is best for morning flights as the sun will be behind you, providing better contrast for photos. Keep your eyes peeled for the Nashville skyline about 30-40 minutes before landing; the flight path often provides a perfect profile of the city.
Ocala National Forest
A vast expanse of sand pine scrub and subtropical greenery shortly after takeoff.
Tennessee River
Watch for the massive, winding blue ribbon cutting through the northern Alabama and Tennessee border.
Land Between the Lakes
The impressive sight of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley forming a massive inland peninsula.
Central Florida Lakes
A patchwork of thousands of small lakes surrounding the Sanford area during climb-out.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset without the blinding glare. Look out for the massive Land Between the Lakes recreation area roughly 20 minutes before landing, as it is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the region.
