After years of chasing planes, I am so happy I finally got to witness the F-117 Nighthawk in the wild. Rumored to be retired for over a decade, the world’s first stealth aircraft feels unreal to see in person. The angular shape is not about aesthetics or aerodynamics. Back in the day, computers didint have enough power to model curves, so engineers relied on flat surfaces to solve the math for stealth. The design was meant to minimize radar reflection, giving the F-117 a signature closer to a bird than a plane. Easily one of the coolest aircrafts I’ve ever seen fly.

A partial solar eclipse in Los Angeles, California. This phenomenon occurs every so often when a basketball resists earths gravity and crosses the sun on its trajectory, resulting occasionally in a “splash” 🏀✨

Traded LA traffic for Arvidsjaur (Swedish Lapland) this winter. Out there the speed limits are about same but traction is optional.

A few weeks ago the word “Negative Sculpture” wasn’t even in my vocabulary, until I walked into Gagosian in New York to check out Michael Heizer’s new exhibit. Convoluted Line A and Convoluted Line B works are winding steel earth liners inserted into a raised concrete floor inspired his early works from the 60’s in California and Nevada deserts, but this time inside a gallery in Chelsea. Such an interesting concept and one of the coolest art shows I’ve seen in a while. On display till end of March.
