Table Rock Lake
Vibrant blue waters near the Branson area, surrounded by lush rolling hills.
Grand Lake o' the Cherokees
The massive reservoir in the northeast corner of Oklahoma visible during mid-flight.
Lewisville Lake
A massive body of water that signals the start of the descent into the DFW area.
Fort Worth Skyline
A clear view of the skyscrapers of 'Cowtown' as the plane lines up for the runway.
This side is excellent for afternoon flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the many reservoirs in Oklahoma and North Texas. During winter months, look for snow caps on the Ozark ridges. As you enter the DFW airspace, look for Texas Motor Speedway located just north of the airport complex.
