About This Airport
Which side of the plane has the best views landing at Clark International Airport / Clark Air Base (CRK)?
When landing at Clark International Airport / Clark Air Base (CRK), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 02R means approaching from the south and flying north, so the right side of the aircraft faces east toward Mount Arayat, a distinctive isolated volcanic peak rising from the flat Pampanga plain. It's much closer and easier to pick out than Pinatubo's more distant, hazier massif to the west. Notable sights include: Mount Arayat, Pampanga River plains and farmland, Angeles City urban sprawl, distant Sierra Madre foothills.
