Location

Slightly off the end of Runway 9L at the Atlanta Airport.

Participants

Thomcat

Expedition

Site surveyed to be on airport property, at the end of runway 9L. Interestingly, the (rental car and convention center) train tracks curve towards that before they terminate, leading to my first point of approach.

So close -- Thomcat (talk) @33.6405,-84.4466 14:33, 1 November 2016 (EDT)

Failing that, I downed an airport brew and queued for my flight from Terminal A. Accidentally not hearing the "please turn off mobile devices or put them in airplane mode" I watched as we taxied down towards the proper end of runway 9L... Once lined up for the flight, I fired off the message (still 428 meters away) and popped into airplane mode for the short flight to Orlando.

On board -- Thomcat (talk) @33.6348,-84.4449 17:06, 1 November 2016 (EDT)
