ATL, what an operation! Reminded me of the old terminal in DTW, only on steriods
Yeah, its eye opening, ain't it? I remember, fresh out of the Air Force, my first operational flight was as an MD-88 FO from ATL to LGA. Holy crap!
I knew I wasn't flying airlift to Hong Kong any more. Never seen so much happening so quickly. Got it down now, thankfully, but it took me awhile.
