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.
Back in the 1990s, I had a friend who worked for a regional airline operating out of Atlanta. The airline flew two different commuter aircraft models made by Fokker. One had a larger pair of engines than the other, so they were known as the "Big Motor-Fokker" and the "Little Motor-Fokker."
Back when things not only had to function, but to function with style. I miss those days.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful aircraft but evidently not very successful:

ReplyDeleteAlmost like the old days when mechanics would stroll down wing to change the oil in one of the engines and then stroll back at 11000 feet.
