The wine of a low flying jet woke me up this morning.
From my window I watch the big airliners fly like ducks in a row on a wire it seems every minute or so into the worlds busiest airport Atlanta's Hartsfield/Jackson.
Really the airport is in Clayton county not Atlanta and the fictional home of Tara from Gone With the Wind.
Aunt Pauline lived in Jonesboro and she would ask where I wanted to go when visiting her as a little boy and the answer was Grant's Park where the zoo was or the airport.
Back in the old days when the world was innocent and the word terrorist didn't exist we drove right up near the runway separated only by a fence and watched the smoking multi engine prop jets take off and land.
Years later there was an observation deck which was added to the new control tower and it was right over the runway.Those huge 747's with their low whining sound of four jets engines were an unforgettable sight so were the multi engine DC's of Southern Airlines.
