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.
That's a fine looking aircraft! Somewhere there's a picture of a PBY in the Aleutian Islands during WW2, it's on the water. It shows ice in the water and sailors wading out with ropes & such. I usually think of seaplane/amphibians being used in warm tropical waters, it paints a far prettier picture (in my mind) in warm weather :-)
