Adventures in Sugar Land
Today's flight was to a new airport for me. Just inside the giant Class-B airspace of Houston Intercontinental (IAH). The airport is called Hull Field Sugar Land. Wheels up at 8:24 am into glassy smooth air. It was like the airplane was suspended and mid air and not moving...wonderfully smooth. Forty-nine minutes later we landed.

Here's what the entrance looked like. More like the Hyatt Lost Pines. Very swank for a General Aviation air terminal.

For lunch my pilot pal Mark took me to a quaint Mexican restaurant in Sugar Land. Here are a couple of photos. This was NOT a "papasitia's" style plastic restaurant. It's the real deal.

After lunch we checked out Mark's flight simulator....then it was back to the airport and home to Austin-Bergstrom.
