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.

Anybody recognize what that is on the ground below?
Joint Base San Antonio, but back when this AT-9 was doing a wing-over it was Randolph Field near Universal City, TX. For a long time it went as Randolph Air Force Base and became the joint thing about 15 years back.
Ft Knox?

DeleteFort Knox, I think. The plane is a North American BT-9 (Yale in RCAF service) so the pic was taken between '36 and '42.
