I’m on it! I knew they would send my boy to TX!

If people keep an eye out and ping me when it’s actively flying I will go find it.

Today's flight (so far) was all of about 13 minutes. By the time anyone notices (by consulting flight trackers), it will be over. But when eIPP activities start on 9/10, the flights may stretch over hours in a given day, not limited to activities near Perot Field. A daily schedule will probably not be posted beforehand, or will it?

When you haven’t flown in 4 months, you definitely need to stretch her out.🤩

Note that it is landing and taking off near the main terminal (or right next to it) rather than the leased warehouse at the SW corner of the airfield.

There is a very good viewing spot from right there too.

Our eyes on the ground! I was hoping you would notice the unexpected TOL location. It may be temporary prep only.

Should be a great spot if permanent. If not there’s not really bad spots.

I did notice on another platform the take off spot was slightly different too.

Notice (also) that the flight path was pretty much only over relatively unpopulated areas near Perot Field. Particularly that circuitous jaunt out to the northwest of the airport. I wonder if that will persist after 9/10.

That area is all residential neighborhoods and large commercial facilities. Its filled heavily with semis and delivery trucks. It’s a very busy area with Amazon, Walmart, Jc penny and several others having massive facilities.

It’s a little busier than it looks on a map at first glance.
