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 tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

ReplyDeletelove it, more Sabre porn!
ReplyDeleteWas all their fuel in the wings?
ReplyDeleteNo, there were a couple of fuselage tanks as well.
DeleteMight be an F-89 Scorpion wing tip tank
ReplyDeleteYes, that was my initial thought as the tank doesn't look like the teardrop style the T33 etc carried.
DeleteFlown by a pilot who more than likely had actually seen the elephant, and was ready if the Russkies came a-callin'.
