So it appears it's sitting all day at C-30, then flying back to AUS where it will sit all night. It's ship 343, a 737-300.

I'm surprised CO has aircraft idled like that. I wonder how many other planes hang out like that all day.
Could have had mechanical issues and they were fixed in time for the next IAH-AUS flight.

AUS-IAH shuttle flights are interesting to watch, I've ridden an empty 753 to AUS, but mostly it's 739s.
