With 600 miles remaining, we departed KBWG and pointed the airplane South East towards the Florida coast. The weather was clear all the way and winds aloft were 32 knots so that meant a 170+ knot speed over the ground. Our flight path took us right through the middle of Atlanta Hartsfield so we may have had to deviate around, increasing our enroute time. But the contollers were accomodating, and we were able to fly right over the top of the country's busiest airport at 6000 feet. With Atlanta behind us, we headed for Jacksonville and then South down the coast past Daytona, Kennedy Space Center, and into Melbourne.
