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.
Crazy shape. Lot of times its an optical allusion seeming aircraft, no wonder they keep them flying, hope they use it like the Buff, a generational aircraft, just so well engineered and built, perfection in some aspects, can't deny its an exquisite shape, form truly following function. Kelly Johnson created talent by the boatload, those that made it.
A commander of mine long, long ago described taking one of these to Baghdad night one of Desert Storm. He said it was unnerving since unlike other fighters (and we use that term loosely here...) where you can see you're going fast, or you know you can turn sharply, or you are low to the ground, you can't "see" that you're invisible while cruising into the middle off the threat envelopes.
