A DL 777 will be flyingover Lenox Square before the fireworks. It is right off GA 400 exit 2! or take MARTA to buckhead or Lenox. the fireworks begin at 9:45.

I have a few questions;
Anyone know the flight #?
Is it operated by or for the military?
Does ATL Tower, departure, arrival, or center control it?

Actually, it's a 767 doing the flyover, unless they changed it since yesterday. It will be joined in a flyover with several UH-60s and F/A-18s, all flown by Delta pilots.

Flairport,
Access Atlanta says it's a 777, while an article earlier this week said it was going to be a 767:

The Fishwrapper does make mistakes, so we'll see what it actually is later on today.

does this mean that the entire flight will be over Dobbins control?

I work at the airport for AirTran. Since our OTP was around 85%, we had zero misconnects and I had plenty of free time. I was able to speak with a friend of mine at DL who told me when to listen for the flight. I picked him up on our tower freq and watched him climb to 5000' and turn left direct to PDK. As far as I'm aware, only the flight crew was on board.
