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.
Great photo! I'm guessing that's an AIM-7 Sparrow as opposed to an AIM-120 (AMRAAM) as the mid-body fins on the AIM-7 look very big compared to the circumference of the missile body. AIM-120 fins look kind of stubby. (I compared pictures of the two side by side. I claim no special expertise other than I used to work the Weapons Control Systems on F-4C and F-4D Phantoms a long, long time ago.)

ReplyDeleteSarge, thanks for the interesting clarification. I'll bet that that missile will put the hurt on whatever bad guys it is aimed at!
