Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the rugged Boston Mountains and the scenic winding shorelines of Table Rock Lake during the descent into Springfield.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

North Dallas Suburbs

Bird's-eye view of the rapidly growing Plano and Frisco areas during the initial climb.

🚣

Red River

The winding, reddish-tinted river that serves as the natural border between Texas and Oklahoma.

🌲

Boston Mountains

The most rugged section of the Ozark Plateau, characterized by deep valleys and dense forest canopy.

🚤

Table Rock Lake

The sprawling, serpentine reservoir near Branson, visible just before the final approach into SGF.

🛶

James River

A scenic tributary of the White River that meanders through the Missouri countryside near the airport.

This side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the Ozark valleys. Watch closely about 15 minutes before landing for the best views of the Branson-area lakes and the lush Missouri forest landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Lake Texoma

One of the largest reservoirs in the United States, visible on the Texas-Oklahoma border shortly after departure.

⛰️

Arbuckle Mountains

Ancient geological uplift in South-Central Oklahoma featuring unique folded rock layers visible from high altitude.

🌾

Cross Timbers Ecoregion

The distinct transition zone where the eastern deciduous forests meet the western Great Plains.

Select a seat forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Arbuckle uplift. Afternoon flights are best on this side to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the Oklahoma terrain.
