Hi Ken,
I agree with the economics. The husband got off later, so there were 6 in
all. As a stockholder in Berkshire Hathaway, I smile at each one I see. My
thought was that it was a far cry from the 4-5 seaters that I flew when my
family was young. They were moving along at over 400kts, which is about 4
times what I achieved on most flights.
