Arkansas Timberlands
Dense, rolling pine forests of Southern Arkansas visible immediately after takeoff from El Dorado.
Lake Ray Hubbard
A massive reservoir in Rockwall that the plane often crosses directly over or alongside.
Fair Park & Cotton Bowl
The historic 277-acre site of the State Fair of Texas, recognizable by the large stadium and Art Deco architecture.
Dallas Skyline
Unmatched views of the Bank of America Plaza, Reunion Tower, and the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge on approach.
The High Five Interchange
The complex five-level stack interchange at US 75 and I-635 can often be spotted to the south.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic entry into the Dallas metroplex. If landing on runways 13L or 13R, you will have a front-row seat to the skyscrapers of Downtown Dallas. For the best photography, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the city's glass towers from the west.

Wright Patman Lake
A sprawling reservoir near Texarkana visible shortly after entering Texas airspace.
Lake Lavon
One of the largest lakes in North Texas, offering beautiful glints of water during morning flights.
Plano & Richardson Suburbs

SMU Campus
The red-brick buildings and Georgian-style architecture of Southern Methodist University just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for passengers interested in the geography of the Texas reservoir system and the rapid suburban expansion of North Dallas. This side avoids direct sun glare during afternoon flights heading west, making it more comfortable for viewing the landscape without a window shade.
