Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the East Texas transition from urban sprawl to scenic piney woods and large reservoirs like Lake Conroe.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Sam Houston National Forest

Dense, dark green expanses of the loblolly pine canopy that define the western edge of the Piney Woods region.

🚤

Lake Conroe

Expansive views of the 21,000-acre lake, including its winding shoreline, luxury docks, and weekend boat traffic.

💧

Gibbons Creek Reservoir

A clear view of the power plant reservoir and the surrounding rural landscape of Grimes County during the descent.

The right side is best for seeing the natural geography of the region. This short flight stays at a lower altitude, providing excellent detail of the forest and lakes. Try to book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you for better photography of Lake Conroe.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Cypress Suburban Grid

Aerial view of the massive master-planned communities and geometric residential layouts of Northwest Houston.

🌾

Waller County Prairies

Observation of the transition into Texas ranch lands characterized by wide-open pastures and cattle ponds.

🏟️

Texas A&M Campus

A prime view of Kyle Field and the sprawling university complex as the aircraft aligns for landing at Easterwood Field.

Sit on the left for the best view of the Texas A&M University campus and the massive football stadium during the final approach. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the harsh glare of the Texas sun reflecting off the suburban rooftops.
