Very impressive. It's a shame how many people don't realize the difficulty and effort of coordinating the domestic flights.
You're right it is awesome. It made me realise how much we take for granted. Big groan for the joke...grins.
that was really cool! oh yeah i dont want to be the guy giving directions.

That is an awesome video. My hubby is a private pilot, I am going to have to show this to him.
Funny joke, it did cause a giggle.
Can you imagine if those flights took off and landed as close as they were in the clip??? Oh Lordy, I would really NEVER fly again...
When I saw the movie PUSHING TIN with Billy Bob Thornton, John Cusack and Angelina Jolle, I was shocked when I saw the air traffic controller's screen!!!
Wow, that was fun to watch. I had to look up Kelowna to see where it was (BC). My kids will now dream of sleeping under cookie sheets!
