The Ozark Plateau
Rugged, forested hills and deep valleys characterizing the scenic southern Missouri landscape.
Lake of the Ozarks
The massive, dragon-shaped reservoir creates a distinctive blue pattern against the green forest canopy.
Mark Twain National Forest
Densely wooded areas providing vibrant colors during the autumn months.
The Gateway Arch
The silver glimmer of the 630-foot monument is frequently visible during the descent into Lambert Field.
Downtown St. Louis
A clear view of Busch Stadium and the urban core as the plane banks for its final approach.
Choose the right side specifically for the arrival phase. If the wind is from the west, the plane often loops south of the city, placing the Gateway Arch and the Mississippi River directly in your window view. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the downtown skyline.
