I’m a fan of flight trackers but today I got the chance to look at a few flights on here that were delayed/diverted due to heavy storms in the south. Having the green line showing the plane’s track is awesome - the planes were going all around in circles and hundreds of miles out of the way, zig-zagging all over the place while in holding patterns. Take a look at Memphis and Nashville and click on some of the arrivals and the tracks might still be up. One for example is SWA1138. I saw about a dozen of them if not more. Too bad I cant post screen caps on here, I lost the flight ID for some of the real interesting ones. Bruce ---
