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.
First plane I ever rode in was a DC3, from Fort Myers to Miami when I joined the army in June 1974. Entered through an external stairs at the rear and walked "up hill" in the aisle to my seat which looked just like the brown plastic upholstered seats in school buses at the time. Slow and low and what a view. They also use the DC3's as mosquito planes in SW FLA too-swooping at tree top level.
Wow, not much clearance for that engine and it looks a tad much for that body and frame. I see the extra supports for engine mounts and suspension but she's gotta be a tire scorcher!
Hard to believe my mother in law was a stewardess on one of those for TWA. Oh she was a hottie in her youth. Lost her in Feb. awesome lady.

ReplyDeleteWould love to see the DC-3 restitfied as much as the coupe shown!
ReplyDeletethe old ones aren't the fastest, or the prettiest. but they do have style. newer ones are just machines
