The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

When I lived in Salina Ks. the Navy would use the local airport, formerly Schilling AFB, for primary Jet training. I could sit on the patio and watch these planes fly directly overhead.
Have they fixed the air system yet? It was a scandal and I know that there have been attempts to solve issues, but last I heard the Aviators were not pleased.
Junky looking airplanes. Junky operating airplanes. Probably get on war surplus sites for $50,000 or so. Those must belong to some country in south America or Africa, I think.
