Happy today because....

Saw a lone B-52 at high altitude heading east (7:35 a.m.). You can hear it even with the windows closed (we're still experiencing frost at night), and the contrails are significantly longer than those of modern commercial aircraft. 

An hour of flight costs $88,000.
Despite increasing age, operating costs remain relatively stable, as a November 2022 report by the U.S. Federal Accounting Office found. In fiscal year 2020, annual maintenance costs per aircraft totaled $7.2 million.

Funnily enough, I heard an aircraft too last night (windows closed) and thought it might be military!

David Byrne is touring! Found out today + secured my ticket! A great seat too ...centre, about row 10, should be ideal!  Should be an interesting show    So glad to see him live, will be my first time.

He announced lots of dates, across US, Europe and Australia/NZ ...so if anyone else here is a fan ...look it up!! His website gives the presale code (by clicking on the concert date you want to attend).
