Atlanta, GA: Alumni Tour of the Peachtree Airport's Air Traffic Control Tower

Sponsored by Hopkins Atlanta 

Join fellow alumni and friends for a fun visit to the Peachtree Dekalb Airport’s (PDK) Air Traffic Control Tower on June 8th @10:30am. 

The PDK Air Traffic Control Tower is the second busiest tower in Georgia. With 13 certified controllers (and 4 in training), they serve 11 flight schools, medevac helicopters and flights, News helicopters, local pilots, and corporate flights. The US National Airspace System is the largest, busiest, most complex, and safest in the world. Peachtree is a class delta airspace with closely spaced parallel runways and an intercepting runway as well. PDK has 13 certified controllers and 4 in various stages of training. Please note a state I.D. is required for adults. 

We will meet at the Downwind Restaurant and Lounge and go by groups of 4-5 to the tower. Guests will mix and mingle with light bites and non-alcoholic beverages at the restaurant while shifts go to The Tower.

This is a family friendly event!
