Residing in Atlanta and use the Atlanta Airport for both domestic and international travel. I have been through many airports throughout the world and find the Atlanta Airport to be one of the best. The airport has a north and south terminal that are combined together. The rail system maks it extremely easy to navigate between terminals. A new separate international terminal is scheduled to open in 2012, which should make it very efficient with international travel and going through CBP.

I did my primary training at RYY and then rented for a while until I moved. I liked the size of the airport and the fact that it has a tower, but is small enough that they have plenty of time to talk to you and the jets are never really in the way. Easy to fly in and out of, and the Atlanta Bravo is well above the airport. Haven't flown there as a visitor from another state, so I can't vouch for the FBO, but I really liked Superior Flight School when I was there.

They are gradually building up the facilities at this new airport. The FBO building opened recently and it's very nice, with good meeting space and a modern architecture. They are luring fliers (at least piston fliers!) with some of the cheapest 100LL prices in the area, so if you're nearby you should stop in.

This guy is courteous and friendly. He offers a variety of services. His main activity is Indigo Aviation and he is an A&P, DAR, and IA. What a man to have all of this knowledge locally available.

Stacy Briggs is the owner and a very nice guy to have on your side in case of problems.

What a great place to fly out of.........Plenty of aviation oriented folks here....

There's a good breakfast served every third Saturday morning at Bill's hangar, starting around 0800. Lots of folks fly in for this so monitor 122.9 for runway 12 or 30. Park at the end of the row of T-hangars on the SE end. Several of us drive/fly up to Briar Patch airport (9GA1) for the EAA meeting and occasional lunch. Very casual meeting, mostly just meeting folks and talking flying.

According to its web site, this is a brand new airport that opened in November 2008. It does not yet appear in the Google satellite imagery.

Did my ASEL Checkride here with John Mann. Great little airport. If it's windy, watch out for shear when you descend below the treeline.

You absolutely must stop in Moultrie if you're in the area. They give every arrival a friendly "welcome to Moultrie," their fuel price is cheaper than anywhere even with full serve, and they gladly give up the crew car for a trip to town for lunch.

1550 feet long, according to the FAA.

They have a pilots breakfast every third saturday. Good Crowd and conversation. Many times those with planes will head up to Brair Patch for a Sport Plane Club Meeting later that day.

PDK is a busy G-A airport. Be on your toes if you're a low time pilot 'cause there's a lot of traffic here.

Favourite Fuel Stop, great service from Lil.

Private strip belonging to 3 brothers who operate a family farm. Usually groomed, with occasional go-kart and 4-wheeler traffic.

I've flown in and out many times professionally. The ATC system is efficient and designed to move airplanes rapidly - the parallel runways sure help as compared to Chicago where so many runways intersect. Also, because thunderstorms are a normal occurrence the ATC adjustments to difficult weather are as fluid and adaptable as possible. There'll still be weather-related delays, but as minimal as safely possible.

It was my homebase from 1997 to 2000. This airport is a model of efficiency with all its concourses linked by underground rail, everything goes fairly smoothly when you consider the huge number of passengers and rotations.

I flew in and out from Hartsfield more than anywhere else, and racked up zillions of frequent flyers miles with Delta Airlines in the process. As I remember it, Delta is your typical American carrier. Unless you fly business, you feel like cattle. Compared to Singapore Airlines, service really sucks.

Other than that it feel pretty safe and is usually on time.

I was leaving in nearby Marietta at the time and this is where I took my first flying lessons back in 2000 in a C152. Nothing memorable about the place itself though.

I moved to Australia by the end of the same year, and didn't resume flying lessons until 2005.

Too much time on his hands and a good bulldozer

Usually the best gas prices in South GA!

This is one of those airports that can provide an object less on how to do it or how not. The ground transportation is set up nicely, few other American cities have high speed rail right in the terminal (heck, few other American cities even have high speed rail ... better to whine about the price of energy than to change anything for the better), but the walks are looooong, the concourses are narrow and dark ... it's utilitarian but hardly appealing.

Found out here one day how long it takes to change the fuel control on #3 engine of a DC-10 ... 4+20 as I watched the whole thing from the concourse window ... guess Delta didn't need the gate. They did still get me home that night, though, so I won't complain.

No big deal flying into here. Just be on top of things. Cheap landing fees and very accomodating FBO

Fulton County (or Charlie Brown as the locals call it) is a great alternative to Peachtree Dekalb (PDK) on the other side of town. It's home to Home Depot's corporate fleet as well as the former BellSouth fleet. Coca-Cola also has a large presence here as well. There is a fair amount of flight training at the field and it's also home of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket Flying Club.

The Atlanta subway, MARTA, goes directly from the airport to downtown -- it's fast, cheap (a couple of bucks, I think), and easy.
