Wondering why all the chopper traffic in recent days/weeks?
After 60 years of using one helicopter model to transport @potus & @vp, a new model will be used. The pilots need to get their takeoff/flight/landing time in.
Not defending, just explaining!

I like to listen to old audio files to fall asleep. So I tried out this episode of Meet the Press from the 50s with British historian Arnold Toynbee. And his voice is like taking seven Benadryl. I cannot make it more than 3 minutes. I recommend it.
