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.
I used to do a lot of work at Whiting Field in Milton Fl. back in the 60's....fell in love with these planes, and I was always sorry to see them pass into history....I remember talking to a flight instructor one day and I asked how it was going....he said "We haven't left one up there yet"....T-28's had a mystique about them....
They are still flying with the Mexican Air Force.
ReplyDeleteHad a bunch of these still in everyday service when I was on my first tour of duty in Yuma, AZ. Amazing, huge radial engine.
