All I've heard so far is that it starts in Marietta, then to Atlanta, ends up in Peachtree City.

Also heard flight time is about 20~25mins. In a time window, from various sources I’ve heard, 1300 to 1430. Course of flight Peachtree City to north side of ATL.
And like it was said finale details to be posted 5/1/20. |

This was just posted to Twitter. Seems legit. Note the change in start time.

Looking at the north side flight path area. |

Looking at the north side flight path area. I wonder if you can get on the top deck at the Perimeter Mall parking lot with the mall being closed? I'm out west of the entire flight path but not too far from the southern part. Might venture out to Peachtree City or somewhere close. |

they are going right over my office, but we're closed and working from home. My home is west of the Kennesaw Mountain park, so I don't think I'll be seeing anything. It's kid's nap time, anyway

It may be worth the trip. I’m well East of the flight path and might take a hike up stone mountain and be able to to see most of the flight path but not close enough to “feel” the flight pathway.?? |

My wife and I are going to set up at the Church parking lot at Morgan falls. There's a clear view to the east skyline and we should have great look as they come down over 400 after making the turn over Roswell.

Any other “high ground & clear sky” areas on the north side?
Well I’m parked at Perimeter Mall near Dillard’s wearing my stealth Boogaloo attire, Hi-wall-yan, G hat with CW and Ellie the wonder dog. |

We had a good view as they came North, turned above Roswell and came back to the South. There were 100-150 other folks in the parking lot at Morgan Falls and put up a pretty strong cheer.
For those that know, was the single jet that was trailing the formation armed escort? |

Look at it this way there were basically three guys flying, lead for BA’s & T-Birds and the the guy flying trail. The guys in formation were flying off their lead. A SAWAG would be trail guy was com’s for local AT and a third set of eyes & ears for traffic. |

We drove to Emory Midtown and parked in the parking deck. Place was packed. Great view as they did the circle. Lots of hollering and clapping.
America, for the most part, love's its military. Good to see. One thing I noticed a few minutes before the flyby were two KC-10s and an F-15 or F-18 off the right wing of the first tanker flying directly over ATL. I wonder if the T-birds and the Blue Angels tanked on the way down this morning and those were the tankers? |

Not sure if that was to help spot for spacing or what. It was pretty awesome to see the whole thing. We set up on a parking deck roof near 400 first exit north of 285. We were able to see them fly the first loop south from Marietta, then they flew right past us heading North for the Roswell loop, then they flew directly over us on the way back south. Too freaking cool. |

We set up at the varsity in Atlanta, it was awesome. About 15 minutes before hand, 4 KC-10s flew over head. It was incredible.
