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.
Looks like a Grumman Goose. They used to fly scheduled service between Fajardo PR and St Thomas USVI (And other routes)
They would always ask for someone to fly in the co-pilot seat and I would volunteer. First time we got to the cruising altitude of 500 feet, the pilot puts it on autopilot, opens up the newspaper and tells me "Keep an eye out for traffic". I had a full set of controls, though no idea what to do with them.
Since then I have claimed that I have flown as a commercial co-pilot.
