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.

Hand starting an aircraft while mid air, or why women live longer than men
That "safety harness" was a belt around his waist. It would probably have cut him in half, or at least broken a lot of ribs. If the rope was really short, he might have landed on the wing. . .yeah, no thanks.
No panic or whine, just getting the job done. Freedom's definition
ReplyDeleteDidn't Snoopy do this very same thing on his Sopwith Camel?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that if they had picked up a little speed by lowering the nose, the prop would have started turning.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.....wasn't as if it was feathered....
DeleteWomen live longer than men because they don't do stupid, meaningless, crap like this asshole. Total shit-show.
ReplyDeleteIntentional stupidity on the pilots behalf. Surprised the prop did not catch his hand on the restart and let go of the plane
ReplyDeletethis is a homebuilt plane. it takes more ooomph than that to spin the prop on an old Piper Cub. It was a set up photo op, notice the safety rope.

ReplyDelete"safety harness" was a rope tied to his belt.
Delete"It's the thought what counts."
Would've been kinda hard to fly it dangling four feet below the aircraft.
DeleteWhat, he could not afford the starter
