Don River Bends
Excellent views of the winding Don River, featuring dramatic horseshoe bends and sandy riverbanks.
Voronezh Cityscape
A clear view of the city of Voronezh and its massive reservoir, which looks like an inland sea from altitude.
Lipetsk Industrial Hub
Observation of the massive steel plants and the geometric complexity of one of Russia's largest industrial centers.
Oka River Crossing
A major geographic landmark near Kashira that signals the final descent into the Moscow region.
Meshchera Lowlands
Deep green pine forests and marshy areas that characterize the eastern approaches to Domodedovo.
Sit on the right side during morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the Voronezh Reservoir. The river views are particularly striking in late spring when the floodplains are lush. On the final approach to DME, this side often sees the historic estates and forests of the Gorki Leninskiye area.

Vast agricultural patchworks and the characteristic flat landscapes of the southern Russian steppe region.
Tula Forest-Steppe
The transition zone where southern grasslands meet the dense deciduous forests of Central Russia.
Southern Moscow Suburbs
Views of towns like Podolsk and the dense residential clusters typical of the Moscow Oblast fringe.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Central Russian Upland. This side also provides a better perspective of the western Moscow suburbs if the aircraft circles before landing at DME. Keep an eye out for the M4 'Don' highway, which often remains visible as a silver thread below.
