Pikes Peak
Look southwest during departure to see the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak towering over Colorado Springs.
Black Mesa Region
See the rugged, flat-topped mesas where Colorado, New Mexico, and Oklahoma meet, including the highest point in Oklahoma.
Cimarron River
Observe the wide, sandy, braided riverbed of the Cimarron River snaking through the arid plains.
Panhandle Wind Farms
Massive arrays of wind turbines are visible across the high-altitude prairies of the Oklahoma Panhandle.
Lake Overholser
A prominent reservoir on the western edge of Oklahoma City visible just before touchdown.
The right side is superior for mountain spotting during the first 20 minutes of flight. Book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Rocky Mountains and the red-tinted soil of western Oklahoma in golden light. Keep your window shade open during the descent over the Canadian River valley.

Center-Pivot Irrigation
The landscape is dotted with vibrant green circular crop patterns typical of Kansas and Oklahoma agriculture.
Arkansas River Valley
Watch for the winding path of the Arkansas River as it cuts through the plains of Southern Colorado and Kansas.
Downtown OKC
On a typical approach from the north, the left side offers a clear view of the Devon Tower and the city skyline.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Oklahoma City skyline and the State Capitol during the final descent. For morning flights, this side will be in the shade, making it easier to take photos of the geometric farmland below without glare.
