CID

When landing at The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 27 means approaching from the east and flying west, so downtown Cedar Rapids and the Cedar River's distinctive bends sit off to the right (north) side during the descent. The left side mostly shows flat Iowa farmland with little to distinguish it. Notable sights include: Downtown Cedar Rapids skyline, Cedar River bends, Quaker Oats/Cargill riverside industrial complex, patchwork farmland north of the city.
