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.

Two ways to get to work. Parking might be a problem if you go with the Sabre jet
A Canadair CL-13 Sabre Mk.6, last model of the Canadian license-built copy of the North American F-86, with some Canadian modifications including a more powerful engine. Since the US Department of Defense by law will not transfer military aircraft to private citizens, the F-86s you see at air shows are Canadian-built copies, often brought in from overseas since Canada exported of a lot of these. Jackie Cochran set speed record for female pilot using a RCAF Canadair CL-13 Because the US Air Force would not let her borrow one of their F-86s.
The German Air Force used Canadian-built Sabres (Mk.4 and Mk.6) between mid 50s to the mid 60s until they replaced it with the F104 Starfighter. Even the USAF used some Canadian-built F-86s (Mk.2 version with US engine, and pretty much identical to US -built F-86) during the Korean War. Various sources say the Mk.6 with a US redesigned wing and Canadian engine was the best F-86 variant ever built.
This one is rotting away as a static display at Airport Uetersen-Heist GmbH in Germany. How sad. Maybe a rich collector will make them an offer and fix it up some day.
No problem if the cannons work.
ReplyDelete'zackly what I was thinking.
DeleteCoupla passes to strafe, and you've got all the parking room you need. ;)

Not even a bitch pad. No gal is going to want to ride on that for long. Not even Joyce the Whore, in the above comment.
