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 agree the A-5 is in the top three, along with the A-4 Scooter (although the M variant of the Scooter looks like it has a hump back and takes it out of contention). A-5 is certainly a great bird, but just a few too many straight lines for my taste. Purely a matter of personal appreciation. Would take any of the three on a poster on my reloading room wall.
Prettiest airplane ever launched off a carrier.

ReplyDeleteThe Turkey Bird has it's charms, but the award for prettiest might also go to the A-5 Vigiliante.
