I'll be flying into KLOU next week to visit family and will be giving them their first GA flights sightseeing around Louisville. Now I have to figure out a good route.
Any recommendations of things that look good from the air (they know the area, but have no way to judge what looks good from the air and what doesn't)? It looks like at least one flight will happen at twilight or later, so both day and night recommendations would be helpful.
Also any guidance on ATC's preferences? Will they allow sightseeing from within the Charlie, or will they want me to stay below the shelf (which seems to be only about 1000 to 1500 ft AGL)? Which sectors are busier and which are slower (and how do they fit with things to see)?
I guess the UPS traffic to/from SDF varies with time of day, so as background, Monday's flight will start between 6 and 8 PM local. The others are more flexible and during the following days.
Thanks for the help, Barry
