Phoenix Arizona.
The difference with flying into Phoenix is the cloudless sky. Everyone says the same thing......I didn't realize Phoenix was this massive.
Not in the US, but the metro that most impressed me from the air the first time I saw it was Sao Paulo. Not saying it was a positive impression, but still. (not my photo)
The approach to Miami from the Atlantic is pretty spectacular. If you are on the standard approach from the due East, you'll want to have an "A" window seat without wing obstruction. You'll see South Beach, the port, the bay and downtown/Brickell of Miami proper.
I had always dreamed of LA and remember the first time I flew over it at age 13. We had to wait for a runway to open so the pilot took us over the Pacific.
You always know you are there when you cross over the mountain range and then boom! You see the massive 405 and palms (when you grow up in Philly palms are precious and rare).
This winter I flew out to LA and it was evening. Earlier I was at Newark NJ. and saw the LI Sound when we are in the sky. After a 5 hour flight we were lifting out of LA to get to SLC and I was like "look at the buildings" to my seat mate. And she tapped me and there was the ocean and Santa Monica peer. The ocean in all it's Pacific glory, waves crashing the shoreline. It was incredible. A few years before I had laid on that beach for days and hours.
I saw Atlantic and Pacific in one day. THEN my plane dropped me into the Rocky Mountains in a snow storm for the Sundance Film Fest. Now that's what I call living!
NYC at sunrise isn't so bad, either the Statue of Liberty in the breaking light.
