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.

A 1952 Twin Beech coming in for a low pass at Flabob Airport in Riverside
Nice! I live within a quarter mile of Flabob and get to see & hear all the planes! There's a DC3 that regularly flies over my house. Very cool to have a daily airshow. https://www.raincrossgazette.com/the-cowboy-aviators-daring-feat/ It is a cool little airport.
I was thinking Sky King as well. Grew up with that show that was on TV from 1951 to 1962. From an online search: Its main character was Arizona rancher and aircraft pilot Schuyler "Sky" King. The series had strong Western elements. Cattle rancher King often captured criminals and spies and found lost hikers, doing so with the use of his airplane, the Songbird. Two twin-engine Cessna airplanes were used by King during the course of the television series. The first was a Cessna T-50 and in later episodes a Cessna 310B was used until the end of the series.
