EFD

When landing at Ellington Fld (EFD), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing on runway 17R means approaching from the north and descending southbound, so the left side of the aircraft faces east toward Clear Lake, Galveston Bay, and the NASA Johnson Space Center area. This gives a nice view of the coastal wetlands and bay waters as you come in, while the right side mostly shows flat suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Galveston Bay, Clear Lake, NASA Johnson Space Center campus, Houston suburban sprawl to the west.
