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?

I used to do that for a living. The flight crew has to wash down the CH-46 afterwards because of seawater, but it works. It's a lot quicker to bring the combat rubber raiding craft in that way than it is to pluck the guys from the water one at a time.
LL, does it take a little bit of nerves on the flight crew to what is essentially a water landing without dunking? The margin of error is pretty slim I would gather... An errant killer whale flipping a splash close by would drown the bird so to speak?

ReplyDeleteI don't think my son-in-law would be doing that with his UH-60S Seahawk.
