COU

When landing at Columbia Rgnl (COU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 20 means you're flying a southbound final approach, coming in from the north side of the airport. Columbia's downtown and the University of Missouri campus sit off to the west of the airport, which puts them on the right side of the aircraft as you descend. The left side mostly shows rural farmland and scattered woods with less to distinguish it. Notable sights include: Downtown Columbia skyline, University of Missouri campus (Mizzou), rolling farmland north of the airport, patches of woodland along Hinkson Creek.
