Red River
Visible shortly after takeoff from SHV, this winding reddish-brown river marks the border area of Louisiana and Texas.
Lake Tawakoni
A massive reservoir in East Texas known for its irregular shoreline and abundant fishing spots.
Downtown Dallas Skyline
On a standard southern approach (Runway 17/18), passengers get a clear view of the Bank of America Plaza and Reunion Tower.
Fair Park and Cotton Bowl
The historic Art Deco complex and stadium are frequently visible just southeast of the downtown core during the arrival sequence.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is prime for spotting the Dallas skyscrapers if the plane approaches from the east or south. Watch for the distinct 'Big Tex' statue area if flying during the State Fair season in October.
