Mississippi River
Witness the massive scale and winding bends of the 'Mighty Mississippi' as the flight parallels its path northward.
St. Louis Skyline
A clear view of the downtown core, Busch Stadium, and the 630-foot Gateway Arch if the flight approaches from the south.
The Chain of Rocks
The historic bridge and the river's unique rock formations are often visible just north of the city center.
Arkansas Delta Fields
Precision-cut agricultural patterns of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain immediately following takeoff from Jonesboro.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the western sun. As this is a short, low-altitude flight, the details of the river's tugboats and barges are often visible; bring binoculars for the best experience. The Gateway Arch is most prominent approximately 5-8 minutes before touchdown.

Sit on the left during late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Ozark plateau. Watch for the change from flat agricultural delta land to the rugged terrain of the Missouri hills within the first 15 minutes of flight.
