Fun and interesting twitter

I don't know where else to put this, I don't know how to start a new thread. I started looking at Flight Radar 24 a couple years ago, I was just wondering where some planes--the very few that flew over a quiet part of the country--were going. malcom Nance on twitter comments now and then on flights around Syria. Interesting to see their air traffic compared to ours in the US, especially north eastern US.

That's fun looking at around this time of night (about 2:30 a.m. CST) and seeing that it's 90 percent cargo planes and international flights passing overhead.
Looking at Memphis is especially remarkable, with all of the icons of the FedEx planes stacked up on top of each other. I remember covering a college basketball game in Southaven, Miss. (a few miles south of Memphis) and heading down I-55 South just after dark and you could see the landing lights from all of the FedEx planes making their approach. The planes were lined up and spaced perfectly apart as far as the eye could see. It was five or six planes making their approach, but it was always five or six planes. One passed by, they moved up in line, and another one appeared on the horizon.

 

This is current ... kind of disturbing in a way.

 

Well, 4/20 *is* coming up, so...
