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.
You wouldn't believe how frikkin loud those things are when they are at about five hundred feet. Those guys would see us working on a pulling unit out in the west Texas desert and fly right over us. You don't hear them till they are past you,then it's like a thunder clap. We all laughed as soon as we stopped wondering what just exploded. I hope the pilots who did that got a kick out of it. I did. That is some crazy piece of airplane.
I like the title!
