GRI

When landing at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (GRI), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on Runway 17 means you're flying southbound, with the city of Grand Island sitting just to the west of the airport. That puts the town's grid streets, grain elevators, and the Union Pacific rail yard on the right side of the aircraft during final approach, while the left side looks out over flat farmland. Notable sights include: Grand Island city grid and rail yard, Platte River just south of the airport, patchwork farmland with pivot-irrigated circular fields, I-80 corridor running east-west.
