Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more scenic view of the Ozark Plateau's rolling hills and the expansive lake systems of northeast Oklahoma.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

St. Louis Skyline

Upon takeoff to the southwest, look back for a distant view of the Gateway Arch and the downtown urban core.

🛶

Meramec River

Observe the winding curves of the Meramec River as it carves through the forested terrain of eastern Missouri.

🌲

Mark Twain National Forest

Fly over the dense green canopy of the Ozarks, characterized by rolling hills and deep valleys.

🌊

Grand Lake o' the Cherokees

A massive, sprawling reservoir in northeast Oklahoma known for its jagged shoreline and recreational importance.

🏙️

Tulsa Metro Area

View the northern outskirts of Tulsa and the Arkansas River as the flight enters central Oklahoma.

For morning flights, sit on the left to avoid the direct glare of the sun while enjoying the sunrise reflecting off the Missouri reservoirs. Watch for the 'Blue Whale of Catoosa' near Tulsa if the flight path is low enough.

Right Side Highlights
6.3
🌊

Missouri River

Catch a glimpse of the mighty Missouri River to the north shortly after departure from Lambert.

🚜

Osage Plains

Transition from forest to the flat, agricultural patchwork of the western Missouri prairie lands.

🏢

Joplin, Missouri

The flight often passes near this major regional hub situated near the corner of MO, KS, and OK.

🛶

Keystone Lake

A prominent reservoir formed by the Arkansas and Cimarron rivers just west of Tulsa.

🏘️

Oklahoma City Suburbs

Aerial views of Edmond and the northern suburban sprawl of OKC during the final approach.

The right side is best for evening departures to witness spectacular sunsets over the Great Plains. It also provides a better perspective of the grid-like agricultural patterns that define the American heartland.
