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.
takeoff, landing, taxi is all a group effort. the pilots all get astronaut wings. the newer pressure suits are no more comfortable than the old ones. for all intents the cockpit is not well pressurized. cruise speed at altitude is five knots above stall speed and five knots below never exceed speed. think sailplane going supersonic and how bad that could get. it has no ejection seat. with the wing length to fuselage length, consider the dynamic coupling happening during a flat spin, a forbidden maneuver. still want one?
I want one.
ReplyDeleteWould take sail-planing to new heights.
Those are very noisy when taking off but very quiet when landing.
ReplyDeleteNamed after Bone-Head's Irish singing group.

They are still making them.
ReplyDeleteNOT a U-2. It's a TR-1 (tactical reconnaissance) under control of a theater commander.
