The helicopter seems like it is typically stationed at Fort Belvoir. Does "out of Fort Belvoir, Virginia" strictly mean that the helicopter's flight started at Fort Belvoir, or that the helicopter itself is considered to be &

Does anyone have the flight path for the helicopter? (Tail number PAT25). FlightAware doesn't show it but it might have been tracked by open source ADS-B receivers. This helicopter was often utilized for VIP transport.

Counterpoint would be the $7.25 minimum wage. It can be updated, but politicians aren't good at doing that. In both cases (FLOPS and minimum wage), at least a lower bound for inflation should be included: Something like: 10^26 FLOPS

$10,000 doesn't seem particularly large. Just a few years ago, I bought an old truck for $12,000 in one hundred dollar bills. If you're worried about large drug transactions, a kilogram of cocaine would cost around $20,000-40,000
