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.

Supersonic Jet Airliner Tupolev TU-144 at the Airport in Moscow, USSR, 1969
In the background: Ilyushin Il-76T, Il-68, Tupolev Tu-154 and Antonov An-12.
The Russian SST didn't fly for very long.
ReplyDeleteThats because theres more to building an SST than just stealing the plans from BAC/Aerospatiale and having at it!
