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.
I have been in both at Santa Ana. (I think only one remains) You see pictures and you think, Wow! They're huge! But pictures do no justice. These hangers (Mare Island too, I believe) are incredible.

Moffet Field, and way over there in the corner were parked 3 C-130s, in the corners. Those were huge buildings. still are.
ReplyDeleteSo big they could develop their own weather system inside. During airshows at Moffett, they would have rides on tethered hot-air balloons in there.
ReplyDeleteTillamook, Oregon, has one. Visit that air museum just for the shop smells, decades old. Oil, gas, grease, solvents. Airplanes, too.
