I ended up with some very nice sunset conditions for this short hop from IAH to SAT. This ex-Continental bird definitely showed her age in the cabin, but she got the job done for the quick 45-minute flight! IAH loves to crank out departures one after the other, which can make for some sweet parallel takeoff action off the 15’s, as well as an immediate breakaway turn after takeoff. Definitely something I look forward to experiencing again!
