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.

A friend flew a Beech 18 between Minneapolis and Chicago in the winter back in the 60's. It was so cold in the airplane that even wearing a snowmobile suit he nearly froze half to death. Indyjones
Every time I see one of those Beech 18s they bring to mind It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World with pilot Jim Backus in drunken sleep in the plane's cabin while non-pilots Mickey Rooney & Buddy Hackett make me laugh as they sit in the pilot and co-pilot seats trying to fly the plane.
Last week an all red airplane and this week all black. Next should be Laceys' Purple People Eater.
