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.

Boeing Shooting Star hydrofoil test bed powered by an Allison external combustion jet engine.
I'm a local of lake washington where this pic was taken, and hydroplane nut, but I've never seen this before. Could I pester you for a link to where you found this? The hull is a "pickle fork" design, but this looks much earlier than when that hull was adopted in racing. much thanks!
What a ride!

DeleteBase engine up front looks suspiciously like a Whittle centrifical jet engine.
