That just doesn't seem real. It seems like there were way too many arrivals in too short of a time. Is there a chance that they added a few more blips to make it more interesting? I wonder what the time frame on that was. If it is totally genuine, then I am absolutely amazed. Well, I'm amazed either way, that was very cool!!

that's how we roll . . . around 150-165 average nightly arrivals, mind you many of those aircraft are HEAVIES! It is cool to see in person . . .

I might be taking a road trip to memphis to watch it!! I used to park at the departure end of one of the runways at KATL pre 9/11 to watch all the heavies land right over my head.
