In the photo, you're looking a little bit south of east, and that's downtown Atlanta in the hazy distance. The Chattahoochee River is right under your feet. Straight ahead is the most active runway, 9R. They have changed the designation to 8, probably a good idea in view of the existence of the former 9 LEFT, which is that short narrow strip to the far left that looks like a short taxiway to nowhere. In point of fact, I was there the day that a couple of cowboys from the Brazilian Air Force were instructed to "Land 9 Right", didn't see 9 Left, and proceeded to land on the taxiway to the immediate right of 9 Right . . . scattering Cessnas and Beechcrafts into the grass . . . fortunately it was early and I was still preflighting on the line, so I got a ringside seat without having to get mud on my wheels . . . :-D
I see that the "suspicious" photogs have surfaced. I wonder if they really "sped off" . . . the driver just may have a heavy foot, and they may have had no idea the police were interested in them. But only an airport/private aircraft nut could have the slightest interest in this little field (people fly out of here because PDK is "too crowded" . . . that's Peachtree DeKalb on the other side of town . . . almost all the exec. jets &c. fly out of PDK and it can get awfully busy on weekends, you can sit idling waiting for a clearance for what seems like a very long time. I also don't like PDK because of the number of large but inconspicuous radio masts in the area. Not to mention the former county dump, which tended to attract birds. There was a bad fatal caused by birds from the dump years ago. I notice that FTY now has a notice about birds . . . there is a landfill several miles away off the Bankhead Highway . . . but PDK no longer has the notice. Guess they closed the dump. Good idea.)
