That just doesn't seem real. It seems like there were way too many arrivals in too short of a time. Is there a chance that they added a few more blips to make it more interesting? I wonder what the time frame on that was. If it is totally genuine, then I am absolutely amazed. Well, I'm amazed either way, that was very cool!!

It's also sped up too, so that's part of it too. Plus it helps when it's everyone from the same company going in, they all have the same mindset and have a good feel for what the other guys are doing, helps expedite arrivals especially.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Fed Ex's Memphis operation is the largest Hub operation of any airline in the world...seems like exactly what you'd expect.

It's time lapse of a typical Memphis bank arrival/departure.

that's how we roll . . . around 150-165 average nightly arrivals, mind you many of those aircraft are HEAVIES! It is cool to see in person . . .

I might be taking a road trip to memphis to watch it!! I used to park at the departure end of one of the runways at KATL pre 9/11 to watch all the heavies land right over my head.
