    I posted here several times about this flight 5 years ago - survey work over Boston, 2 nights, about 3 hours each at 1,500 feet.

    Here is the combined track for the 2 nights:

    But I don't think I posted this Tweet before. A man talking about a mysterious flight over Weld Street at 3 AM. I was over Weld Street at 3 AM, just a couple blocks from my mother's house.

        That’s awesome. You should tweet back at the guy with that flight path picture.

        If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

          I miss Boston. Loved that town.

            Indeed. It's a great city.

            New Orleans, Boston, Portland.

            All great cities.

            I'll take any of those over (insert your favorite city here:____________)

                Boston is a city I would love to live in. I've loved all my visits there though I'll probably never see it again.

                  Kluurs, it's a great place to vacation. History whale watching, fantastic restaurants, very walkable. It's pretty much got it all.

                    We like it here - I work very close to the airstrip which is just to the left of that flightpath.

                    Well, I used to a long, long time ago. Now I work in my dining room.

                    I was only joking

                      I can't believe it was almost 5 years ago that we got together there. D4 and I had a great time in that city. I would love to return some time.

                        Yes, that was fun. I think we've been to Boston a total of about 4 times since then, which is pretty sad.

                          I met Phibes in Boston many years ago. At a small deli (his wife/kids joined). 👍

                            God, that was ages ago - I think they were in pushchairs at that point - kids, not wife. My son turns 19 in July.

                              Damn, that’s insane. I’m fairly certain your son was like 6 years old or so.
