Window seat

First, you bet I do. I love the window seat because you can see the fascinating landscapes if you're lucky, and it's much easier if the sun isn't in your eyes.

To follow up a few earlier posts, though. Does anyone know of any sort of map/narrative that describes the terrane along (beneath) the major flight paths -- a sort of illustrated John McPhee for the western US portions. Or even a map or chart laying out the flight paths. Drives me nuts to see the amazing landscapes between Denver and LAX, etc. and not be able to either identify the landmarks or understand the geological forces that produced them. Ah for the old days with the talkative pilots.
Also, does seatguru accurately display the wing locations and, therefore, the blocked views?
