And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Fast, you say, NFW bro. I remember a SOG one time of only 70K heading west. It took all day to get home but the Witchita Bug Smasher was a great bird. The first aircraft and wheeled vehicle to have disc brakes too but you had to do the fuel tank hand ballet or the sounds of silence could be deafening.
I would want one, but radial engines are SO expensive to operate.
