West Siberian Gas Fields
Numerous gas extraction sites and flares appearing as bright spots amidst the wilderness shortly after takeoff.
The Ob River Basin
Magnificent views of one of the world's longest river systems, featuring vast floodplains and braided channels.
Frozen Wetlands
During winter months, the geometric patterns of frozen peat bogs and marshes create a stunning monochromatic landscape.
Middle Ural Mountains
The low-lying but prominent peaks of the Ural range marking the geographic boundary between Asia and Europe.
Verkhnyaya Pyshma
Views of the industrial complexes and the famous military technology museum area on the northern outskirts of the destination.
The right side is ideal for capturing the sunset on evening flights. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to catch the first glimpse of the Ural mountain line emerging from the flat Siberian plains. Seasonal flooding in late spring makes the river systems particularly dramatic from this side.

Noyabrsk Industrial Hub
Aerial views of the city's unique circular layout and the massive industrial infrastructure supporting the regional gas industry.
Irtysh River Meanders
Intricate, snake-like river bends and oxbow lakes of the Irtysh basin visible in the distance to the south.
Southern Taiga
Dense, dark coniferous forests that stretch to the horizon, dotted with occasional logging roads and clearings.
Yekaterinburg Skyline
A panoramic view of the 'Capital of the Urals' including the Vysotsky skyscraper during the final approach from the east.
Sit on the left for better lighting during early morning flights as the sun rises behind the plane. This side is also excellent for spotting the urban sprawl of Yekaterinburg if the flight patterns utilize a southern approach to Koltsovo Airport.
