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.
Spent 2 years at NAS Key West, with my office in the Ops building, 150 yards away from a runway. There was nothing more exciting than seeing a Phantom warm up, just the running lights visible, until the pilot hit the afterburners to take off.
another brutal and beautiful aircraft.
