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.
I read the SR-71's leaked fuel, especially at takeoff, because until it heated up (due to friction at speed) it didn't expand enough to seal everything up tight.
Perhaps not so much fake as a demonstration for an air show. SAC used to have a demonstration team where a KC-135 and B-52 overflew the airshow in a "refueling" formation, even though the boom never made contact.
Or a 3-layered photoshop.

ReplyDeleteAnon is right. That is an older EAA oshkosh airshow pic
ReplyDeleteAnd it's the trainer SR-71. Note the double cockpits.
ReplyDeleteThey do not refuel anywhere near that close to the ground. Fakety fake
