The view in the drift-sight is Lake Havasu on lower reaches of the Colorado River. Where the sticky-out bit joins the Arizona Mainland is Lake Havasu City. Joining the sticky out bit to the mainland is the London Bridge (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge_(Lake_Havasu_City) ). I claim no superior vision for spotting this. As I was ranging down the river with Google Maps my eye just caught the words ‘London Bridge’ printed and out of curiosity I zoomed in on it. The drift-sight picture is either north orientated, or the aircraft is flying north, probably the latter. DaveP
