Holy sheeet that looks like rush hour in D.C.. Landing in Atlanta which I think they or Sheetcago are the busiest airports in the world? Every time we landed commercial Atlanta we landed side by side 3 at a time. Taking off same thing. Damn hold my beers and watch this one.

It's amazing how they manage to maintain separation and keep everything in order. God forbid one has an emergency and the whole things gets thrown out of whack

Think were looking at the big picture with the map you have up rather than local zones. Breaking it down each A.O. I guess has a number of flights coming into it and they just have to manage them until they pass them off to the next one. Yes no hell I am not a pilot but I watch all those flying shows at 03:00 when I am pulling L.P. for the site here.
That would make it a lot easier I guess just managing a few dozen or more at big airports. "Whoa whoa their big dog your going up that guys tail pipe slow it down a bit. Yeah you."
