Fort Worth Skyline
Visible shortly after takeoff from DFW, featuring the modern high-rises of the central business district.
Benbrook Lake
A prominent reservoir on the southwestern edge of the Metroplex, popular for recreation.
Rolling Plains
The transition from the Cross Timbers forest region to the expansive ranch lands of West Texas.
Twin Buttes Reservoir
A large, distinctive water body that serves as a primary visual landmark for the final descent into SJT.
Downtown San Angelo
Clear views of the Concho River and the historic architecture of the city center just before landing.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you for photography. In the late afternoon, this side is also preferable as it avoids the direct glare of the setting sun as you head west. Look for the sharp contrast between the green river valleys and the dry surrounding brushland.

The right side is excellent for spotting the massive wind farms that define the modern West Texas energy landscape. If flying in the late afternoon, expect significant sun glare as the aircraft is oriented west-southwest. Use a window shade to mitigate heat during the summer months when the sun is particularly intense on this side.
