Early Flight at Charlotte

Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Charlotte, North Carolina; October 28, 2026

Sunrise view from an elevated walkway looking along the road adjacent the terminal at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, framed by a curved steel-truss canopy, with an orange-to-blue sky and the Charlotte skyline in the distance.
I stopped on the bridge between the parking garage and the terminal on my way to an early morning flight at Charlotte Airport in North Carolina. — J. Matthew Buchanan
