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.
Was a mechanic on these and biggest issue was pilots masterbating in the bathroom during long missions. We kept telling them to stop but every mission had 5,000 tax payer dollars to fix the clogged inners of the toilet.
As opposed to other fighters where you can see that you’re going fast, or see that you’re flying low, or you know you can pull some decent Gz, you just have to take the engineers on faith since you can’t see that you’re invisible. (paraphrased from a night one Desert Storm vet)
Very interesting shot - from a tanker, I suspect. I had no idea this plane’s forward visibility was this bad.

ReplyDeleteI know how great they are, they're space age, etc, but they are the ugliest planes ever built! Just my opinion, mind you.
