Incredible Views of RI and Downtown Providence!

An incredible tour of the Ocean State! Starting out over the Arcadia Management Area looking toward South County and out over the Atlantic Ocean. Then Narragansett Bay with Newport and the Pell Bridge in the distance. The trees gradually give way to city as we pass Warwick and the airport, Cranston, and downtown Providence. Turning back toward the south you can just catch a glimpse of Amtrak’s northbound Acela Express at 6:13 heading toward Boston. Coming back toward the airport, great views of the East Side of Providence, Brown Stadium and the University, the Port of Providence, and Roger Williams Park. Enjoy!

Providence airport is a great airport

How many times did I fly into Providence to visit my family in Massachusetts. It was way closer than flying into Logan. Nice flight every time.

[@danieloconnell6306]

Landing at night into providence was not all that bad

[@nickmiller4331]

I love seeing PVD from the air.

[@danieloconnell6306]

The flight from Washington DC to providence was not to long of a flight

[@wjlintz]

RI is stunning from the air. However, the closer you get to Smith St., the worse it stinks.

[@danieloconnell6306]

One of these times me and my girlfriend should fly together to Massachusetts for 1-2 weeks and my aunt Stephanie would pick us up from the airport if in providence or Boston it would be braintree

[@danieloconnell6306]

Can crutches go through security at the airport and can they be with you on the plane

My brother Rick had a private pilot's license at age 16. I got this view of RI and Providence once or twice flying along with him. Not for nothing the world famous horror writer H.P. Lovecraft said " I AM PROVIDENCE " . Of course , Lovecraft also viewed his beloved Providence ( and neighboring Pawtuxet Village ; see " The Case of Charles Dexter Ward " ) from the perspective of " COSMIC HORROR ". As I do Kennedy Plaza, Providence . Are Providence politicians viewed from the perspective of " COSMIC HORROR " ?

Providence is not that bad of a Airport i have flew in and out of Providence twice the first time i thought that i was going to get lost in providence

[@nickmiller4331]

Why do they pass the airport the first time?

[@marcmcreynolds2827]

It depends on the wind direction as to whether an approach will be more or less straight-in, or the big circle you saw here. That's because when possible, aircraft are directed so as to land into the wind, minimizing the ground speed at touchdown. On a day like this, with wind apparently coming from a southerly direction, this aircraft approaching from the south first flies past the airport as you noted (its "downwind leg"), then a bit north of downtown turns about ninety degrees to the right on the "base leg", then turns about another ninety degrees until lined up with the runway about ten miles away for "final approach". If the airliner had been coming from the north OTOH, most likely after south of Boston it would have simply made some final adjustment to its heading and flown straight in on the final approach. Or if the wind direction had been opposite to what it was, the video airplane would have got to go straight in and the one coming from the north would have to fly past the airport and do those extra turns.

One of these times me and my girlfriend should fly together that's if her mom and my mom would let us fly by ourselves and I would tell the tsa officers that she has a magnet for seizures and can't go through the x ray machine and that I have type 1 diabetes and I don't know if it could go through the x ray machine at the airport
