Does anyone still have the url for that radar recording of the Fedex flow
approaching Memphis with storms around? I've misplaced it, and now would
like to forward it to a friend.

Thanks for your help.

Zatatime,

Which part are you in doubt about? The 200 aircraft? Absolutely real. I
had the privilege of writing a magazine story on an average night in
Memphis. It's quite a scene.

Nobody outbound? Where to they put all those aircraft on the ground?

My speculation is that the animation linked in this thread used filtered
data whereby the outbound aircraft returns were removed.

The freight hub model works, cuz all of the freight comes in at the same
time, offloads, sorts to their new destination, loads back onto the correct
plane, and they all scamper out. No need or desire for anyone to be
leaving, while everyone is still coming in. And by the way, ever been to
Memphis? Not much air traffic going out at that time of night, unless it is
FedEx!

So where do all those aircraft sit during that time? Anyone have photos?
It must be impressive.

But Memphis is also a commercial airline airport. Is it just coincidence
that there were no departures, either part 135 or 121 during that loop?

Didn't you ever wonder why Memphis was the recycled aluminum capital of the
world?
