The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. This side provides the best perspective of the massive suburban expansion of the DFW Metroplex. Watch for the Texas Motor Speedway, which is particularly bright and easy to spot when the sun reflects off its grandstands.
