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 a short doc on the B47, that has an incredibly compact crew section, just short of stuffing sardines in a can. Its still a pretty far out sci-fi looking design. Could you replace those old low by-pass turbo jets with a set of ultra high spec 100 inch turbo fans, yeah, super sonic at low throttle settings in level flight, might have to strengthen the wings a bit, look kind of funny at first, till it proves how fast it is.
