North Dallas Urbanity
Dense views of the suburban sprawl of Plano, Frisco, and the Dallas North Tollway corridor.
Lewisville Lake
One of the largest lakes in North Texas, often crossed shortly after takeoff.
The Red River
Visible as a winding, silt-filled waterway marking the border between Texas and Oklahoma.
Irrigation Circles
