Mogollon Rim
A massive limestone and sandstone cliff that marks the edge of the Colorado Plateau, offering a stunning vertical drop view.
Painted Desert
Vast landscapes of stratified rock layers featuring vibrant hues of red, lavender, and orange.
Sangre de Cristo Mountains
The southernmost subrange of the Rocky Mountains, often snow-capped and reaching elevations over 13,000 feet.
Santa Fe National Forest
A lush, high-altitude forest landscape that provides a green contrast to the arid New Mexico desert.
Kansas Prairie Grids
The geometric beauty of the American heartland with its perfectly squared agricultural plots and center-pivot irrigation circles.
Book an afternoon flight to see the Painted Desert colors at their most vivid. Sit ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Mogollon Rim, which appears quickly within the first 20 minutes of takeoff from AZA. During winter months, the snow coverage on the Sangre de Cristo range is a major highlight.

Theodore Roosevelt Lake
The largest lake located entirely in Arizona, appearing as a bright blue gem amidst the rugged Tonto National Forest.
Mount Taylor
An extinct stratovolcano in New Mexico that dominates the horizon with its massive, dark volcanic cone.
Capulin Volcano
A distinct and nearly symmetrical cinder cone volcano located in the northeastern corner of New Mexico.
Wichita Cityscape
On final approach to ICT, you can see the Arkansas River winding through the downtown area and the city's suburban sprawl.
This side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, reducing window glare. Watch for the volcanic fields of northeastern New Mexico about halfway through the flight; they are unique geological markers that stand out against the flatter plains.
