This total is an estimate (≈ $72,500). The filing carries no dollar figure, so we sized it from median day rate of 56 priced orders on KBSD-DT; 17-day flight. The real total is not known yet and is left out of confirmed-spend figures; we update it when a later invoice or the candidates' finance filings land.
