B738 N789TA 'Beavertail Island'

[CBreuer]

After I've updated the scenery with the new AFD file which 'opens' all parking positions it was really fun to depart Atlanta. The airport was heavily packed with aircraft mainly DAL, but I expected this.
We did the return flight to Houston and so here is the ATC Flightplan:

(FPL-TAA2220-IS
-B738/M-SDE1FGHIJ1M1RWXYZ/LB2
-KATL1550

Baggage loading is complete and we are only waiting for the remaining passengers to board the aircraft and find their seats.
   

At 15:51Z the push back finally started and we could start the engines followed by a short taxi to runway 09L.
   

About to line up:
   

Does he hold short?
   

Nice climb out after we took off at 16:00Z:
   

The cruise flight was nice and we first climbed to FL380, but just only to stay there for a couple of miles. Then we made a step down to FL360 and later on another one to FL340 until we finally started our arrival to a TS surrounded Houston. It was a rough approach to runway 27 at Houston, but we made it down in one piece. We touched down at 17:33Z for a flying time of 1:33.
   

We taxied to gate C15 and we got blocked in at 17:39Z for a BTB time of finally 1:48. We arrived 34 minutes early.
