Video of FedEx Planes Avoiding a Storm

by Willy Volk on Mar 9, 2007

We mentioned recently that Memphis International airport has more cargo traffic than any other airport in the world. The reason? FedEx uses Memphis as its shipping hub.

This is an amusing, 46-second video of FAA radar tracking a bank of FedEx aircraft getting into Memphis as thunderstorms pass over the airport.

Trust me. It’s cooler than it sounds.
