Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Appalachian mountain ranges and the dramatic river systems of the Carolinas, ending with a scenic approach over the coastal wetlands.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌲

Monongahela Forest

Vast stretches of dense Appalachian forest and high-altitude plateaus in West Virginia.

🌉

New River Gorge Area

The deep canyon and dramatic geology of one of the world's oldest river systems.

⛰️

Blue Ridge Mountains

Iconic rolling peaks that often appear with a signature blue haze during midday.

💧

Great Pee Dee River

Massive, winding oxbows and floodplains as the flight enters the South Carolina lowcountry.

🐊

Coastal Swamplands

Intricate networks of wetlands and cypress swamps just miles before touching down.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct eastern sun. Watch for the transition from the sharp ridges of the mountains to the flat, watery landscape of the Carolinas.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Pittsburgh Metro

Visible shortly after takeoff, catch the confluence of the three rivers and the city's iconic bridges.

🏔️

Shenandoah Valley

Distant views of the long, narrow valley floor tucked between the Blue Ridge and the Alleghenies.

🏙️

The Research Triangle

Aerial view of the Raleigh-Durham metropolitan area and its sprawling suburban forests.

🛶

Waccamaw River

A dark, tea-colored blackwater river that marks your final approach into the coastal region.

🏖️

The Grand Strand

Depending on the landing pattern, you may see the sprawling white sand beaches of Myrtle Beach.

Sit here during morning flights to see the sun rising over the Atlantic. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the Intracoastal Waterway, which runs parallel to the coastline.
