The flight path crosses over the Outer Banks of North Carolina—a long, narrow chain of barrier islands with distinctive sandy formations and the Atlantic Ocean on the east side. The Pamlico Sound and other sounds between the Outer Banks and mainland are visible as shallow water bodies. Inland, the flight passes over the coastal plain of North Carolina with scattered forests, agricultural areas, and small towns. The Neuse River and other river systems create visible linear features through the landscape. No major mountain ranges are encountered on this route—the terrain remains relatively flat throughout the flight corridor.
