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.

A Convair B-58 Hustler chasing the North American XB-70 Valkyrie during a test flight.
I'll be walking under it tomorrow- I'll try to take some cool pics (at the museum). One cool fact is the XB-70 going full throttle/speed is creating a 980,000 horsepower situation....
Wonder what those pilots must be thinking back then, operating those then two absolute cutting edge aircraft.

ReplyDeleteOther than the Lockheed Constellation....is there a sexier airplane that the B-58 Hustler?
