McLane Stadium
Spot the distinctive 'horseshoe' architecture of Baylor University's stadium situated right on the Brazos River.
Lake Waco
A large, expansive body of water that serves as a primary landmark halfway through the short flight.
Dallas Skyline
Enjoy an iconic view of the Bank of America Plaza and the glowing Reunion Tower as the plane aligns for landing.
DFW Airport Complex
As one of the largest airports in the world, the terminal and runway layout is a fascinating sight from above.
The right side is best for afternoon and evening flights, as the setting sun illuminates the Dallas skyline beautifully to the east. Look for the Brazos River snaking through Waco about 15-20 minutes into the flight. If the airport is landing to the north, this side provides the most direct view of downtown Dallas.
