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?

sadly, i had to be content with watching night takeoffs in Okinawa. like a locomotive with booster rockets. lavender mach diamonds in the exhaust stream. really stood out on the ultraviolet film. much NKPR unrest and goonish behavior began after we stopped "observing" them with the SR.
I'd pay good money (they wouldn't have to pay me) to strap that SR-71 on and fly it. It's just about the most fun you could have with your clothes on.
ReplyDeleteWatched one fly over at Edwards. Awesome!!
