Years ago I went in there a few times in an Aztec. Approach wanted me to maintain 180 knots on final to about I75. In other words I was at high cruise to the end of the runway. Well, if you have a 10,000 foot runway, you might as well use it all.

I could only dream that flying into KATL in the 80s as a young 25 yr old pilot was so peaceful!! I flew banking documents/light freight into Hartsfield late night in Mu-2s/Commanders/404s when all the big birds were coming home to roost. Non stop atc Speed talking, keep your speed up, no deviations +- 100ft or miss a call 2x and you were thrown to the back of the line. Maybe a L-1011/747 close in trail "keep your speed up" atc stresses. "Make your 1st right." Not really a option or get ran over. Right over the numbers your throw out full flaps, force the nose down, carrier landing and then make the turn only to see these massive lights bathe you and then watch those beast roar past. Some times I spent the night sleeping on conveyor belts eating out of vending machines. Ah the glamour of being a freight dog.

Atlanta's greenery is truly awesome to see from the air! One would never know you're in a metropolis of over 7 million people. I live in Los Angeles and I wish we had just a fraction of those trees here in Southern California to look at when landing instead of wall-to-wall concrete. Great video. P.S. -- I enjoyed the music in the background. It lends a mood to the video as one gazes out the cockpit window watching the scenery pass by. Good job!

For years the airport was called, 'Hartsfield' after former mayor William B Hartsfield who was responsible for an expansion of the field. In 2003, they added the name 'Jackson' after another former mayor, Maynard Jackson, who oversaw a huge expansion/redesign of the airport, including the 'midfield' terminal, which placed the terminals and gates between the (at the time) 4 runways. The 5th runway was added later, and is on the other side of the multi-lane highway (I-285) the plane flies over just prior to landing.
