[QUOTE="OKNewshawk, post: 3730678, member: 6592"] Do you know why Memphis is the main hub for FedEx overnight? Its location in the middle of the country and the lack of severe weather that would close the airport for appreciable periods of time. Also, when FedEX was founded, Memphis international Airport was dead between 1 AM and 7 AM--no flights in or out. I know because in 1972, I spent a night at that airport. I had a 7:30 AM flight home but the first bus from NAS Memphis (in Millington, TN) left for the airport at 7:00 AM. I had to take the last bus the night before and wait in the terminal all night. The airport was completely dead...as in "go through his pockets looking for spare change" dead. (With apologies to Miracle Max...) [/QUOTE]
