Monongahela National Forest
Aerial views of the dense, lush forest canopies covering the highlands of West Virginia.
Piedmont Plateau
The rolling hills and transition zone between the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic coastal plain.
Atlantic Horizon
On clear days, the distant glint of the Atlantic Ocean is visible as the plane crosses into Georgia and Florida.
St. Johns River Basin
The complex, dark-water river system that meanders through the Florida landscape directly into the Sanford area.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the final descent, look eastward to catch glimpses of the Indian River Lagoon and the distant structures of the Kennedy Space Center if the air is clear. Seasonal afternoon thunderstorms in Florida often provide dramatic cloud formations on this side.
