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.
Used to Know a Guy who Worked on them in the AF, then was Hired by Lockheed when the Maintenance on these Pigs was Contracted Back to them. Took 100's of Man-Hours of Maintenance for Every Flying Hour, Everything had to be Done Perfectly, Evert Time. After being a Jet Mechanic on Transports for 40 Years, I still like to go to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum to look at one. They were one of the most Well-Designed Airplanes ever produced, and Without 'Computer Aided Design', either.
