I stopped myself mid sentence. The airport has too many names so I just combined them.
It is the one place you can now truthfully say "highest threat is bears..." Captain was on takeoff on the east/west runway and a bear was trying to cross the runway.
How does a bear survive there with that fur coat??

Whatever happened to "grumpy" in ATL? All the controllers said he was nothing like he sounded on the radio.

When I was in indoc in '89 we visited ATL Tower & ATL Center. One of our guys asked the supervisor if 'Smily' was working. The supervisor leans back towards the controllers working the scopes and says, "hey a--hole, some pilots want to meet you".
