    Yes its memphis, Greenvilles turn. Jackson MS and Nashville later on.

    The interesting thing about Memphis is for a few hours each night the airport becomes the BUSIEST airfield in the free world as clouds of Fedex want in and out.

    Sometime these storms show up. Once in a while they try to put a plane into Adams in Little Rock (KLIT) and the runway is too short when wet excessively so whiff they go into the river. Its really tough to stick a 140,000 pound 737 onto flooded cement on the little tires it has. You first have to reverse thrust and then stand on the brakes and hope the ABS will get you under 30 before you run off the end of the #### thing. (Spoilers, slats and speed brakes are automatic once the plane "Feels" the gear compress and take weight on contact) The hydroplaning is unbelieveable at about 140 or so mph give or take.

    This video is first minute into a core storm with maybe shear in it localized. Then another while waiting as you come downstairs past the revelant markers. Eventually you hear "Minimum" which means 200 feet above the ground do you see the #### runway or not. If you don't you must add poewr and go around. But I think they busted the minimum and there is the runway. All wet. Plop the #### thing down anyway.
