There is a guy working the ATL approach control that is just
incredible. I was flying in there one night on United and listening
in on channel 9 as he kept calling out flights and vectors one after
the other never missing a beat. When we turned base I looked out the
window and there must have been close to 100 other planes in the
pattern behind us heading for both runways.

I can remember thinking, how does he keep everybody straight in his
head? It was very cool.

I will be flying down to the NASCAR race in Atlanta on March 14th.
For those of you who have flown out of races, it is a pain in the
butt to get an IFR clearance and get out of the airport quickly.
By far, the best way is to take off VFR and try to file and get a
clearance in the air. The airport is under the class B veil and is
due south of ATL. I want to go northbound. For pilots familiar
with the area, what are my chance that I could get permission to go
through class B airspace and go directly over the airport (6500
MSL) or am I more than likely not going to get clearance into class
B and have to work around the city? Are the folks at ATL approach
pretty friendly or just too busy to concern themselves with me?

Advise from people familiar with ATL approach is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin
