Travelogue: Day 6 - Miami, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia

I know Miami is a blast, but unfortunately, the time has come to move on. Never fear -- we will be paying a visit to the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport nearby very soon. However, we must move on to Atlanta today. Here we taxi toward Runway 8L at Miami International Airport:



We are headed to Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Hartsfield-Jackson is Delta's premier hub, and by most measures, one of the busiest airports in the world. It also serves as a major hub for the low-cost carrier AirTran.

Before long, we are airborne! We zoom past the Miami skyline and sweep left over Biscayne Bay toward the north:



Before long, we are over swampy south Florida. Here is Lake Okeechobee:



In a few more minutes, we cruise over lots of little lakes. Orlando is down there somewhere. Everybody wave to Mickey Mouse as we fly overhead!

Here we line up for a final approach on Runway 27L. Too bad Hartsfield-Jackson's new Runway 10/28 has not made an appearance in Flight Simulator yet...



We park at the cargo terminal just off Runway 9R/27L. Across the airfield, some of Hartsfield-Jackson's passenger terminals are visible:



Help yourselves to a Coca-Cola and some peaches! Next stop: Chicago.

Total flight time: 1:20
