Taking advantage of the F14 Tomcat's speed, we will fly from the vast Grand Canyon, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Colorado River carved the Colorado Plateau and created this canyon. You can see how massive the canyon is from the scenery that flows slowly, even at speeds of over 800 knots (about 1,480 km/h).
The Colorado River, at the bottom of the valley, runs nearly 1200m below the Colorado Plateau, which makes it difficult to imagine how it was formed.
After passing through the canyon, Las Vegas, which appears like an oasis in the vast plains, is also impressive.
