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.
This is a routine procedure. Many floatplane owners seasonally switch between floats and wheels, and the companies that do the switching are often located at land airports. So the guys/gals fly in on wheels, switch to floats and take off this way. When they switch back to wheels, they land on wet grass alongside the runway, do the switch and take off normally, leaving the floats behind to be stored by the shop until the next summer.
I watched one with floats land on the grass at the Vancouver WA airport.
ReplyDeleteThat is cool and innovating!
ReplyDeleteGet it to about 65 MPH and it flies well.
ReplyDeleteI own one like that only with wheels.
you can get it in the air as low as 53 MPH, lower with a headwind.
