So it all depends. The best bet for DCA would be the left side, however there is no guarantee that you will see anything but some rooftops of homes in Arlington.

Just so you know, flights do not land and approach differently into DCA -- this is a very restricted flight space, and very tight.

To the OP -- hope you had a good view either coming in, or going out, and a good visit.
