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.

Cruise missiles are loaded under the wing of a B-52 Stratofortress
When they're loaded onto a pylon like that the little wings are swung back along the fuselage to deploy after launch. They're folded tight along the body and when there's a good wind across them they thrum against the missile body. Makes a pretty good noise. I've had skycops that guarded them cocked on alert tell me that they called the sound the "Song of the ALCMs".
When it absolutely, positively has to be destroyed overnight, when you really want to reach out and touch someone, who you gonna call ?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a whole case of woop-ass to me!
ReplyDeleteStand-off is what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteSix on each wing, eight in the bay.
