FedEx Planes Avoiding a Storm

That is remarkable. I landed in a strong thunderstorm coming back from Vegas. It was the worst experience I've ever had on an airplane.

The music really makes it.

If you look really really carefully, there's one plane that goes into the storm but never leaves. And that plane that flies round and round and round in circles is so silly. The pilot must've fell asleep.

It's pretty neat, but what do you guys think of the music?

posted by Capn 09 May | 11:41

That is really nifty. I sent the link to all my friends. They liked the music a lot.

But did they think that the music really made it? Because I do.

This thread needs music.

There was music?

Loved it, especially when several of the planes start circling together towards the end.

Oh, and I made it to the music.

It really wouldn't have been the same without the music.

Looks like ketchup, mustard, and lettuce scaring ants back into their underground nest. To music, which really makes it.

Really makes it, the music does.

I muted it.

Did anybody notice the music? I thought it...kinda...you know...sorta made the whole thing. It really pulled the vid together.

Seeing them all run away once the nasty stuff gets right over the city is amusing.

First I gave this video a C+, because I don't like ants or picnics. But then I turned op the volume, and thanks to the music, it's now an A-!

Loved it.

And the music, too.

Two thumbs up.

I didn't like the music.

Where do the planes go that don't end up landing in Memphis?

posted by ikkyu2 09 May | 19:54

Looked like quite a few set down in Little Rock, which is probably a usual alternate. They probably put down, refueled, and went back to Memphis.

For the others, DFW, Nashville, and St. Louis. It's hard to tell, but I bet the ones you see running away were rushing out of Memphis.
