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.
FRED. could have saved a bunch of airframe weight by only pressurizing the upper decks of the airplane. a lot more than the originally envisaged fixed landing gear with the streamlining doors that would cover them. but no. some general officer was offended that his lobster would arrive spoiled by being depressurized while flown down from Prince Edward Island overnight. I always liked working the C-5A as there was always something to fix that would crap out if you even looked at it with a kindly mindset. helped the early morning hours just fly by.
The Air Force was offered the B747 freighters to supplement the C-5 and ease the C-141 burden. The Air Force turned them down because the whale would have required a specific type of cargo lift. In a few years, the Air Force acquired those lifts to accommodate contract B747 freighters filling in the gaps in cargo capacity that the Air Force couldn't handle.
