FedEx Planes Dodging Storm

This is an FAA radar track sequence of FedEx planes avoiding a storm as they approach the Memphis airport. Pretty cool to watch, looks kinda like an ant farm.

Hey, all! I was flying that night. Fed Ex uses Memphis, Indy, Oakland, and Newark much like a passenger airline uses a Hub. Only, we have only two "banks" a day. A Day Sort, and a Night Sort. All the planes come in, about 200+, every night by about 1am at the latest. They sit there 2-3 hours, then, after the packages are sorted and put on the outbound planes, all the planes leave again. This was posted merely to show how the "inbounds" handled a nasty storm.

So how about it karenserim? Do you know if this video was faked? How was it possible that only inbound planes show and no outbound planes? Does the FAA have the ability to play back the data that was recorded and only show inbound traffic? Believe me; I'm not accusing you. Just wondering if you know how reliable your source is.
