 | Saturday, February 7, 2026 | | | Good morning! On this day in 1904, a discarded cigarette in Baltimore's business district ignited the Great Baltimore Fire, which burned for 31 hours and destroyed 80 blocks. Officials reported that 1,500 buildings were lost, but fortunately, there were no fatalities. You can view a collection of photos of the fire here. Today, as promised, The Flyover introduces its 2026 Winter Olympics special section as Friday's opening ceremony unfolded in Italy. This is where you can keep up with daily news from the Olympics, including the athletes, events, and even an ongoing medal count for U.S. teams. You'll find it just past the Sports section in today's edition. Housekeeping note: The Flyover team finished a productive annual meeting this week, and the team is heading back to their home states to resume regular service. Today's issue is abbreviated, but we’ll be back to our full-length editions on Sunday. Today’s sponsor is Fisico, sharing a simple, science-backed approach designed to combat “joint drought” and help restore smoother, more comfortable movement in just seconds a day.
| | | |  Trump Officially Unveils TrumpRx.gov
President Trump on Feb. 5 launched TrumpRx.gov, a government-backed site offering 40 discounted prescription drugs to Americans paying cash, calling it a major step to curb U.S. price disparities nationwide. The administration says "most-favored-nation" deals with 16 major drugmakers will bring U.S. prices down to the lowest paid abroad, cutting Medicaid costs for cash buyers, too. TrumpRx lists about 40 drugs, showing savings and generating pharmacy coupons or directing users to mail-order options. Discounts do not apply to insurance and generally won't count toward deductibles today. Officials highlighted lower prices for GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, inhalers, HIV, diabetes, and IVF medications. Experts praised the one-stop coupon hub, but noted the list is limited and savings vary overall. | Three fans, 60 Years of Super Bowls Three lifelong football fans—the last remaining members of the "never missed a Super Bowl" club dating back to Super Bowl I in 1967—are returning this Sunday for the 2026 game, and it will probably be the last time as a group. Don Crisman of Maine, nearing 90, and Tom Henschel of Florida, 84 and recovering from a stroke, said this trip will likely end their streaks at 60 straight Super Bowls. Gregory Eaton of Michigan, 86, says he plans to keep attending as long as he's physically able, still hoping to one day see the Detroit Lions reach the game. He remains the only one still working. "I think all of them are big, they're all fun. It's just gotten so commercial. It's a $10,000 trip now," Eaton said. | | | | | Flying together with our sponsor 
Why Getting Up From A Chair Gets Harder Each Year (It's Not Age) How do some folks stay active well into their 70s, 80s, and even 90s... while others find themselves hobbling down stairs or needing to rock back and forth just to get out of a chair? According to a breakthrough discovery by Harvard University scientists, it comes down to a hidden culprit that dries out your joints from the inside: "joint drought." When this "drought" is addressed, it not only soothes joint discomfort but makes joints feel younger and more mobile than they have in years. And doing this is surprisingly simple—just 5 seconds a day. A Boston medical doctor has helped hundreds of thousands of people beat joint drought with this approach. Thousands across the country are reporting remarkable results. Kay Gilbert from Athens, Alabama says, "I'm 73 and feel like running all over the place again. My kids say I outshop them in Walmart."

This silent culprit makes simple movements like standing from a chair increasingly difficult. Unlike typical "wear and tear," joint drought happens when the lubricating fluid inside your joints literally dries up—especially after long periods of sitting still. When this fluid is depleted, every movement becomes stiff and uncomfortable. A Boston doctor has helped over 180,000 people address this root cause.
