Landing on runway 08R means approaching from the west and touching down heading east, so the right side of the plane faces south toward the foothills of the Tian Shan range that rim the Tashkent basin. On clear days you get a good look at those snow-capped peaks in the distance as the city sprawls below. Notable sights include: Tian Shan foothills/mountains to the south, Tashkent's dense urban grid, irrigated farmland patchwork east of the city, Chirchiq River valley in the distance.
