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.
Watched it fly into Wright-Patterson when I was 10. Saw it as an outside exhibit at the "old" Air Force museum a few times in the early 70's. Saw it again inside the "new" Museum of the USAF when I was 40. I always refer to the MotUSAF as "new" because I watched the first two hangars get built.
Looks a bit short of the runway?

Best air museum in the country, probably the world. Well worth a visit. Lots of spacecraft, too.
DeleteLooks cool as all get out!
ReplyDeleteMusta needed every foot of runway. That thing was a beast.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately one of them had more takeoffs than landings.
