CCR

When landing at Buchanan Field (CCR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing on 19R means you're descending southbound toward Concord, and Mount Diablo's distinctive 3,849-foot peak sits just east of the field, putting it on the left side of the aircraft during final approach. The right side mostly shows suburban Walnut Creek and the low Briones hills, less striking by comparison. Notable sights include: Mount Diablo, Carquinez Strait/Suisun Bay to the north, Walnut Creek suburban sprawl, Diablo foothills.
