Vol 09 - US Atlantic Seaboard

Tour Overview Departure: Westchester County (KHPN) Arrival: Washington National (KDCA) Flight Distance: 220 nautical miles Duration: Approximately 3 hours

America's founding story unfolds beneath your wings on this extraordinary flight connecting New York's Hudson Valley with the nation's capital. From colonial settlements carved from wilderness to revolutionary battlefields where independence was won, witness landscapes that shaped the American character across four centuries of growth and transformation.

The Hudson River guided Dutch explorers inland from New Amsterdam, while the Delaware carried William Penn's Quakers to their promised land. Revolutionary armies marched these valleys, crossing ice-filled rivers to strike decisive blows for liberty. Industrial titans built mansions overlooking these same waterways as America transformed from agricultural colonies into an industrial powerhouse.

Lenape and Susquehannock peoples traveled these river corridors for thousands of years before European ships appeared on the horizon. Their seasonal camps, trading networks, and agricultural innovations provided the foundation that colonists would adapt and expand. Archaeological sites throughout the region preserve evidence of sophisticated indigenous societies that European diseases and territorial expansion would devastate within generations.

Highlights Include:

  • New York City's iconic skyline rising from the harbor that welcomed millions of immigrants
  • Historic Philadelphia where American democracy took its first uncertain steps
  • Chesapeake Bay's vast estuary system that sustained both Native peoples and colonial settlements
  • Washington D.C.'s monumental core designed to embody democratic ideals in stone and marble
  • Revolutionary War sites where colonial militias transformed into the Continental Army
  • Industrial landscapes where immigrant communities built America's manufacturing might

Cultural Sensitivity Note - Our narratives accompanying the excursion pay tribute to both scientific understanding and tradition.
