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?

Your whole body vibrates. I worked night shift, F8 squadron, and we would assist the jet mechanics with high power tests. Pull the tail, I think it was a 9 point chain tie down, then bring the engine up to 100%. Various things were monitored, like input, output temps. I don't think the afterburner was triggered (it was a long time ago). But, at night, the flames were there.
I was a F14 Tomcat TF30 and F110 Jet Engine Low and High Power Qualified turn operator. Full Military Power then go into Dual Afterburners, Loud, yes. That's the sound of Freedom...
Definitely: "High pucker factor".
