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.
The F-117 Nighthawk, only 64 built but were activated in the Gulf War. I'm a 21 year veteran (1971-92) of the USAF and I never saw one with my own eyes.
I recall when they first were publicly discussed we had one at the air show. My Dad was in the guard there, so we went to the base on Friday to watch all the planes come in. Guys at the shop told him to take me (about age12) over to one of the hangars for a surprise. We get in and there she sits, surrounded by red velvet ropes. I approached to get a better look, and 2 Marines with rifles come out of no where: thats close enough.... Yessir!
B-2 OR B-52 for me. We are about the same age..LOL
