NFL Playoff Flight #1: First AFC WildCard Game - Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans
Flight Starts At: 05 January 2019 @ 2100z / 1600 EST / 1500 CST / 1300 PST
Intro
The NFL playoffs and Superbowl are the sporting highlights of the winter for many people. This is the first game of the playoffs. Flight Distance between Indianapolis and Houston is about 750 miles. I thought a straight through flight might be a bit boring. So in honor of the Tennesee Titans who fought the good fight until the very end but were eliminated at the very last game of the regular season, I scheduled a landing in Memphis (KMEM). Hopefully we'll get there around halftime.
