Fedex Radar recording

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.

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.

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

Remember that FedEx started with the model of each aircraft making
exactly two flights a day -- to Memphis, wait while packages are
unloaded, sorted, and reloaded, then back to their city. So all the
arrivals had to occur before all the departures.

It's gotten much more complicated, with more packages sorted remotely
for shorter trips, but I'm not surprised there's still a tendency for
a lot of planes to arrive, sit around a while, and depart from Memphis.

The storm related video is of a specific, truncated time span, meant to show
the storm disrupted arrivals. Of course there are outbounds, but the nature
of FedEx ops is that almost everyone arrives, then later everyone leaves.
If you go to Jay's video site
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/aviation_videos.htm there's another clip
there that shows a full 24 hour span of FedEx ops.
