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.

A 12,000 pound gearbox assembly is fitted to a CH-53K King Stallion
I want to drive that.
ReplyDeleteI know the imagery is at a rework facility but I am remembering "D" Phase inspections, especially at sea. Ugh...
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if that gear box is shimmed in place?
ReplyDeleteThe HH-46 SeaKnight I flew had an empty gross weight of only 14,500.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me that they can even lift their own weight, never mind the payloads they can boast of. Human beings are ingenious.
ReplyDeleteSome are. From my experience, most are morons. Occasionally you get a genius. Obviously, we are slipping into Idiocracy.
