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 livery is that of the Norwegian Air Force (Luftorsvaret) and yes, it is the SAAB Safari plane. They are used for education and training of pilots. Stationed at Bardufoss Airport.
Back in the 80's a 6 cylinder version was one of the trainers available at the airport we got fuel at. My uncle was my instructor and he used a grass runway 24 miles from the small plane airport. He had flown it and described it as a Cessna 172 on steroids. My uncle had a deal where he would teach nieces and nephews how to fly for the price of fuel until after we soloed. He has a Cessna 140A, a Cessna 172, and a Piper Lance. I mostly flew the 140 because it was the cheapest to fly if you are only paying for fuel. I did get some training on the 172 and Lance as there was only a one bay hanger on the farm. Most of the time the 172 was there. I didn't get charged for fuel to go get the 140 but I got the time and the practice taking off and landing in the other aircraft.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if they are school bus planes for the Alaskan outback?

The yellow is to make it easier to find the bodies after a crash.
