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.
lol. The plane in that image matches in aircraft type, N-number, and paint scheme a remote control Piper Cub sold online at Nitroplane.com. The RC version does not have a merry couple peaking out of it tho.
The actual N7101P is/was a 1960-built Piper Comanche registered in Chicago whose registration expired in 2014. I speculate that the owner/pilot passed away and it is sitting in a hanger or aircraft graveyard somewhere. Hope I’m wrong.
Nope, I learned how to fly in a 1951 Cessna 140 in the mid 70's as a teenager. It had an altimeter, compass, attitude indicator, and a cheap radio. More than once I have buzzed a water tower to confirm where I was.
It's amazing how many of those are still in use today from that timeframe.
ReplyDeleteA tool that does the job well, no reason not to keep it working.
DeleteI've flown one a few times. They are a delight to fly.
