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.

Convair XFY-1 Pogo, an experimental Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) fighter aircraft developed for the U.S. Navy in the early 1950s.
My dad bought a Revelle model of this aircraft and we sat down one Saturday and assembled it. The model "flew" in my bedroom for years suspended from the ceiling.
Those were the days, weren't they? From the time that I was able to build a model, I prolly had at least 6 of them hanging from the ceiling on fishing line.
