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?

Canadair built them under license. They used bigger tiptanks, a Rolls Royce engine instead of an Allison & the canopy was changed during production. Early models had the standard T-33 canopy with the center bow and the actuator between the seats.

ReplyDeleteT-Bird. You could get someone to stand next to an open tip tank, push down the other side and watch them get sloshed with fuel! Good times.
