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.
CS-TMP (Luzair) MSN 1248 formerly JY-AGJ (Royal Jordanian) L-1011-385-3 Tristar 500 moved to Underwater Military Museum Dive Site, Aqaba, Jordan on 26 August 2019 for use as a tourist dive site. (From Wikipedia) - The "S" dust ntake for engine # 2 (center) was really different from the straight through design of the DC-10. The "S" duct let the engine thrust be lower thus closer to the CG.
L-1011's always bring to mind Eastern-401 going into the Everglades in late '72. Distraction caused by a burnt-out light bulb. Somewhat akin to TWA-514 in '74 going into a mountain while on approach to IAD.

ReplyDeleteAnd if you look inside, the passengers are still strapped into their seats, because they had the "Remain seated" light on.
