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!
