DDC â LBL
Which side of the plane to sit from Dodge City Regional Airport (Dodge City) to Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport (Liberal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the iconic wind farms of Southwest Kansas and a prime perspective of the Mid-America Air Museum upon arrival in Liberal.
Dodge City Departure
A sweeping view of the historic 'Queen of the Cowtowns' and its modern industrial outskirts immediately after takeoff.
Wind Farm Clusters
Observe hundreds of modern wind turbines spanning the horizon, highlighting the region's shift toward renewable energy.
Mid-America Air Museum
Located on the Liberal airport grounds, this is one of the largest aviation museums in the country, featuring over 100 aircraft.
High Plains Horizon
Vast, unobstructed views of the Kansas horizon where the earth meets the sky in a perfectly straight line.
The right side is ideal for aviation enthusiasts wanting to see the Mid-America Air Museum's outdoor displays during the final approach. If flying in the morning, the light will be behind you, providing excellent conditions for photography.
Cimarron River Meanders
The sandy, winding path of the Cimarron River provides a stark geographic contrast to the surrounding flatlands.
Irrigation Quilt
Massive green and golden circles created by center-pivot irrigation systems form a vibrant geometric patchwork.
Agricultural Feedlots
View the immense scale of the region's cattle industry with large-scale industrial farming operations visible from above.
Santa Fe Trail Ruts
On exceptionally clear days, sharp eyes can spot the faint, historic wagon ruts of the original Santa Fe Trail.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Cimarron River basin. This side is particularly scenic during the golden hour, as the low sun highlights the subtle undulations and textures of the prairie landscape.
