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 learned to fly a Cessna 140 back in the 70's. I got to fly a converted Alaskan 140. It had over twice the horsepower and a six foot wider wingspan. It literally jumped in the air when I applied throttle and released the brakes. Tail draggers are fun to fly, but a pia on the taxi way.
STOLQUEST LLC SQ18 SPECIAL, a one-off experimental class two-seater built in 2022 by STOLQuest LLC in Alaska. Just by googling around appears it is owned/flown by a woman who goes by AlaskaAviatrix on various forums.
Yes beautiful, and fun to fly I bet.

DeleteWhat happened to the actress? She had a short talk radio run, and trouble with an addiction. Seemed a good chick.
That thing can take off and land on a small envelope.
