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.
Nice old Beech 18 operating out of NW Ontario. Civvy version of the Beech 45. Used to see them flying out of the Back Bay in Yellowknife. Took forever to get off the water. Steve_in_Ottawa
Beech 18, called the Expeditor when used by the US military as a transport. There are no spreader bars between the floats so the stringers in the lower wing have to be inspected closely for cracks. I got to spend two days flying in one full of explosives doing short hops to a gold mine in NW Ontario. Al_in_Ottawa

ReplyDeleteReminds me of the aircraft (w/o pontoons) used in the TV series Sky King. Where’s Penny?
