Ya'll may have seen this before, but I love it as much as I did the first time I saw it.

It's a time lapse map of the U.S, showing all of the Fedex aircraft moving about the U.S. Incredible!

This one is equally cool...

Fedex aircraft being filtered though the safe holes in the sky during the severe storms and tornadoes on Feb. 5th 2008

Very interesting, thanks!

on a day like that the radio is so busy you really have to squeeze in words like "Approach, Flight 123, we need about ten... make that fifteen right for weather."

fun fun fun... no better thrill

Maybe it's just me but I get a real sense of joy tracking my packages online.

Great....I kept looking for the flight path of my recent flight to the States

You will probably not find it unless you were wrapped up in cardboard somewhere in the cargo hold.

Wow, what's that hub in the south? Memphis?

Regarding package tracking, UPS are my new heroes

Enigma · 12-19-08, 10:07 AM

Yup, Memphis is the hub....

Blimey

Ant Hill is the right term for it

What's up with those aircraft heading to Mexico at 1:26 though? Turbulence?

Precisely.....how did you guess

The nice lady in the travel bureau assured me the flight was exceptionally cheap
