Never did care for PDK. Towers to the south. Weird slope to the north. And too narrow runways.

This cat could have been one of many.

Agreed... flew out of PDK for many, many years and still find myself occasionally staring at 20L

As far as all the towers sprouting up all around it... I think they farm them or something...

At last count IIRC there was 20+ around the field...

Methinks 'twas not an airport problem.

Thank god nobody was seriously hurt! That could have ended much worse. On a lighter note, having spent some time down South (including Alabama where I believe they were based), I am willing to bet $10 the pilots were named Jim Bob and Billy Ray and weigh 250+ lbs apiece... :laugh:
