AZA

When landing at Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 30L, the approach comes in from the southeast heading northwest, putting the Superstition Mountains on the right side of the aircraft as they rise to the northeast. It's a much more striking and identifiable landmark than the flatter terrain to the left, which is mostly Phoenix-area suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Superstition Mountains, Goldfield Mountains, Phoenix-Mesa suburban sprawl, Sonoran Desert terrain.
