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.
Yup a Lockheed "Loadstall!!!" Just ask a bunch of "OLD" Skydiver's from the daze of the"Gulch!!!" (Casa Grande, AZ... early 1970's!!) Also, The late Actress "Liz Taylor's late husband 'Mike Todd' had a 'Loadstall' named "The Liz" It crashed, killing all on board after "Flying into known Icing Conditions!!!" I remember reading an account in "Flying" Magazine of a pilot who got fired because he refused to fly into marginal conditions... thy spent the night at the motel and in the morning the guy who fired him came to his room "Eating Crow" showed him the headlines from the morning paper of the crash, and said.... "You Saved our Lives!!!".... Funny how that goes..... skybill
Looks like a Lockheed Neptune.

It's a PV, either a Ventura or a Harpoon. Predecessor to the P2V Neptune.
