Pikes Peak
Distant views of the iconic southern Colorado summit as the aircraft turns eastward from Denver.
Nebraska Patchwork
Vibrant green circular irrigation patterns creating a geometric art piece across the agricultural heartland.
Mississippi River
The wide, majestic waterway marking the crossing point between the rolling Iowa bluffs and Illinois.
Lake Michigan Coast
The vast blue expanse of the lake and the sandy bluffs of the southern Wisconsin coastline.
American Family Field

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct sunlight, providing better conditions for photography. Look for the Mississippi River crossing roughly midway through the flight. If the flight path takes the aircraft over Lake Michigan for a western approach, this side offers an endless horizon view of the water.
