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.
Good glide ratio though...for when the engine conks out. The guideline when flying an airplane is that you can never have too much fuel on board -- unless the airplane is on fire.

DeleteI do believe that's an F.E.2b maybe a "d" (some versions did not have a nose wheel, not sure which).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info!
