Fedex Radar recording

Andrew,

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


Inbound from 6 to about 8 pm. Put the aircraft on the Fedex ramp.
Unpack all, resort the packets, reload the aircraft, outbound from 2 to
4 am. After that, the ramp is empty again until 6 pm.

There are exceptions, of course, but the major push is inbound during
that time in the evening, very few outbounds. And the opposite is valid
for the outbound push. They even have flying spares, read empty DC-10s
flying from Seattly and Indianapolis to Memphis. In case an aircraft
can't take off for technical reasons, the spare will go there and pick
up the load.
