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.
That was never-spent-a-day-in-uniform screenwriter T.S. Cook's stupid made-up quote in Red Flag: The Ultimate Game in 1981, and it hasn't improved over time. He's the guy who gave you such aeronautical gems of accuracy as Airwolf, and had Barry Bostwick beating William Devane in Red Flag by performing the Two-Handed Polish Heart Attack maneuver, which had actual military pilots rolling in the aisles and holding their sides in ready rooms across the country. This is what happens when you let Hollywood typist-wannabes try to sound like salty old throttle jockeys.

How many F-4 guys does it take to change a light bulb?
ReplyDeleteSix. One to change the bulb while the others stand around and talk about how great the old light bulb was.
So that's what Goose was looking at.
ReplyDeleteThat an exceptional shot.
