Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of major Midwestern metropolitan areas including Oklahoma City and Omaha, along with winding views of the Missouri River and the fertile Red River Valley during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

DFW Metroplex

Sweeping views of the Dallas and Fort Worth urban sprawl immediately after departure from the north-facing runways.

🏛️

Oklahoma City Skyline

The prominent Devon Tower and the urban core of Oklahoma's capital city are often visible shortly after crossing the Red River.

🌉

Missouri River Bends

The winding path of the Missouri River near the Nebraska-Iowa border provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding plains.

🏘️

Omaha and Lincoln

The eastern Nebraska population centers provide clear landmarks during the mid-section of the flight.

🌾

Red River Valley

One of the flattest places on Earth, the descent into Fargo offers views of some of the world's most fertile topsoil.

The right side is best for evening flights to catch the 'golden hour' light reflecting off the winding rivers and city skylines. On approach to Fargo, watch for the distinct north-south orientation of the Red River which marks the border between North Dakota and Minnesota.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🚜

Great Plains Patchwork

Infinite geometric patterns of Kansas and Oklahoma farmland, showcasing the center-pivot irrigation circles.

🏜️

Nebraska Sandhills

A glimpse into the unique, undulating grass-stabilized sand dunes of north-central Nebraska.

💧

Lake Oahe

Large reservoirs on the Missouri River system visible as the flight traverses South Dakota.

🌅

Western Horizon

Dramatic sunsets over the flat plains if flying during the evening hours.

Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side is ideal for photographers interested in the abstract patterns of American agriculture and the subtle topographical shifts of the Sandhills.
