This box definitely didn't get tossed over a fence! Filmed 12/3 to 12/4.

Cool...though it would have been more interesting IMO had it went to some outpost in BFE via some feeder planes in addition to the FDX heavies.

Occoquan, VA to a tiny island in the middle of the massive Pacific... Doesn't get much more BFE than that.

A Cessna caravan isn't dramatic enough compared to a massive MD11 taxiing right towards you... Remember they are trying to sell ad space!

I caught that too, and while he's talking about the pie getting airborne, they were showing a bus take off...

Hey, when has the media ever been accurate about anything concerning aviation? Just read the Commercial Appeal. They could have shown an ATR taking off and a majority of the public would have believed it.

But it was good PR for the company and everyone involved in the process.
