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.
We were so excited to see the first hornet training squadrons, fly onboard. A-7's disappeared, replaced by the new '18's... Sadly the 14's transitioned out... end of an era. Beginning of a new.
The original. F-18A. Not as fast as a Phantom, no Phoenix missiles like a Tomcat, but to see the FCS making automatic micro-adjustments to hold it steady and level, the thing looks like it's alive when it flies.
