I took today off and took part in a behind the scenes tour of the Atlanta airport. We were able to visit their Ops Center and Mobile Command Post as well as view the runways from a couple of spots in the grassy areas of the airfield. We also got to pop into the Delta ramp tower. All pretty interesting things and stuff I had never done before. Pics...

Did they drive you around in a Porsche? I saw a panamera as a Delta car in SLC.

Is this an insiders only tour, or something they offer to the general public? Back in 2011 , I contacted the airport fire department arranged a tour for my son’s birthday. I picked up a stack of pizzas for the firefighters and we headed down with a gaggle of kids. It was fantastic. Got to see the trucks up close, got to see them squirt some water, and got really close to the main taxiway between the two runways. Too bad I didn’t have better kit back then, but you can see how hot it is even in September.

The guys from airline geeks.com set it up and put out an open call on Twitter. I just signed up for it.
