Flight experiences usually last about 15 minutes of air time and 5-10 minutes on the ground. The aircraft usually flies along the Port Clinton, Marblehead, Catawba, Lakeside coastline... Cedar Point is usually seen from a distance on the flight and/or the Lake Erie Islands. This flight does not fly directly over the islands.
