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.
Something interesting for you all. Notice in the middle of the yoke where one would think there ought to be a horn? It's just a blank round spot. I don't know if you can embiggen this but all that's there now are two safety wires keeping the yoke attached and safed. Well, at one time there was a round disk horn looking thing with the emblem "B-52 Stratofortress". They've all disappeared. Crew chief's couldn't keep them on the plane. They all walked off somehow. What I wouldn't give to have one of those now...
Even though they're old, the BUFF's are impressive.
