lots of us on the UK trip planning board fly into Atlanta airport on indirect flights to disney world (and some of us fly on Delta)...
so i thought this might be interesting (and a wee bit alarming....i mean, seriously? an air traffic controller joking? causing a plane to go around????
)
In the report below, they play the recording of the control tower and the pilot talking.

a different report (a bit over the top, but they are correct that it's a dangerous prank)
