XML : Remove node from XML with Jquery

I'm just wondering if it is possible to remove a node from XML with Jquery without having to replace the whole file every time? For example, if i have an xml file

  <ArrivingFlights>  <flight>      <to>Michelle</to>      <from>Brianna xx</from>      <imagepath>0001.jpg</imagepath>      <templateStyle>template1</templateStyle>      <time>17:00</time>      <date>18/12/15</date>  </flight>   <flight>      <to>Ger</to>      <from>Mammy xx</from>      <imagepath>0002.jpg</imagepath>      <templateStyle>template1</templateStyle>      <time>08:00</time>      <date>21/12/15</date>  </flight>  <flight>      <to>Ciara</to>      <from>Vikki xx</from>      <imagepath>0003.jpg</imagepath>      <templateStyle>template1</templateStyle>      <time>11:00</time>      <date>17/12/15</date>  </flight>  </ArrivingFlights>    

Would it be possible to just remove the below so there will just be 2 nodes?

  <flight>      <to>Michelle</to>      <from>Brianna xx</from>      <imagepath>0001.jpg</imagepath>      <templateStyle>template1</templateStyle>      <time>17:00</time>      <date>18/12/15</date>  </flight>    

I am thinking of doing this on a bigger scale so would like to learn ho to do it.

Thanks
