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.
I am pretty sure that this POS aircraft was here before and I made the comment that my father was stationed at Hickam AFB in Honolulu and was transferred to Fuchu AFS near Tokyo. We got on one of these planes and nearly 24 hours later, after two refueling stops, we landed in Tokyo. UGH!!!
The Boeing 377 Stratocruiser was a large long-range airliner developed from the C-97 Stratofreighter military transport, itself a derivative of the B-29 Superfortress.

DeleteThe plane is a POS because you were making a long trip?

ReplyDeleteI gather ETA's were best guesses because engine failures were pretty common.
