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.
That's one of the models my FIL supported. Probably every part has been replaced / upgraded by now. He said in the few years @ Fairchild USAF base, it was one retrofit after another.
If you ever get the chance to witness a take off near the end of the runway, do partake. Hearing the roar of the engines as the bird comes up to speed from over a mile away, then watching the rotate and lift off, it's an awesome experience.
