While flights take-off and land at PDK in nearly every weather condition, you can increase the number of aircraft you watch by going on a clear, sunny day. Not sure you want to chance it? Or just grab a killer burger as you watch the planes take off at Downwind Restaurant. Just be sure to get there early and stake your claim on the picnic area of your choice, as it is first come, first served. Not only do you have built-in entertainment with the constant air traffic, but you also have a covered picnic area with restrooms (it’s under a real airplane hangar… how cool is that?!). Add to the excitement a playground, picnic area, and viewing deck, and you’ve just hit a home run.įrom late March to mid November, there’s no better place to host an airplane themed birthday party… anywhere. Aspiring aviators have plenty to watch, between the flight lessons and the sleek chartered jets of Atlanta’s celebrities and power brokers (who’s ever seen Ted or Jimmy at Hartsfield?).

In terms of take-offs and landings, PDK is Georgia’s second busiest airport.
