Animation of FedEx air traffic over the entire U.S. for one full day:

This is very cool! It's an actual map of the air traffic for one day of operation:

Pretty cool. I assumed this would be a joke post and the planes would leave a city and then circle around the destination to annoy the recipients of the cargo.

lol, its like theyre all ants gathering food and they bring it back to the ant hill, aka, MEMPHIS

anyone know if fedex ordered any A380 freighters? those would really help on high traffic routes . . .

No. And it'd be absolutely worthless to them.

Nifty! And to think that FedEX has UPS to thank for all this.

(The UPS workers strike if you forgot...)

[digitalsm]

FedEx has the first order for the Airbus 380. They will have the very first commerical A380 in service in 2008. Followed by 2 more that year. 3 in 2009, 3 in 2010 and 1 in 2011. They will be for the long haul North America - Asia flights.
