And for more context about how crazy the arrivals were on that Sunday, here's a link to an article about it:
aviationweek.com/business-avia...
And some additional context regarding that visualization from Philip at FlightAware:
The data here is combination of (high-quality) ADS-B data and (low-quality) MLAT data from Mode S aircraft. Of the unique tails depicted here, there are 247 ADS-B aircraft and 106 Mode S aircraft.
As we discussed via email, my high guess for ADS-B equipage in the GA fleet is maybe 16% - applying that assumption to the ADS-B/MLAT split in the data would indicate that I'm probably showing 23% of the traffic. If we guess higher and go with 20% equipage, then I'd be showing about 29% of the aircraft.
So overall, I'd say that absolute best case, we're seeing 30% of all the arrivals in this video. Which is still pretty impressive (and/or daunting) to think about.

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
