The flight path crosses the Great Plains of the central United States (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas panhandle region) where terrain is flat and featureless at altitude. The Mississippi River valley becomes visible in the eastern portion of this segment. As the aircraft moves south over the Gulf of Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula becomes visible—a low, flat limestone platform with sparse vegetation and cenote lakes visible as small dark spots. The Yucatan's northern coast shows the transition from land to the shallow waters of the Gulf. No significant mountain ranges or dramatic landmarks exist along the midpoint; the flight is characterized by long stretches of flat terrain and open water.
