The flight path crosses the Appalachian foothills (West Virginia and eastern Kentucky), the Ohio River valley, and the Mississippi River near Memphis. At cruise altitude, the Appalachian ridge-and-valley topography is visible as parallel linear features. The Mississippi River appears as a broad, meandering waterway in the mid-flight portion. The terrain transitions from forested mountains to increasingly flat terrain as the aircraft approaches Texas, with the Mississippi Delta's agricultural grid becoming visible before reaching the Gulf Coastal Plain.
