LETTER: Stop complaining! Those warbirds equal freedom
November 22, 2009 10:58 AM
It's a cool sunny Friday before noon, and I’m thrilled to hear the glorious carbureted sound of our warbirds being flown by our Greatest Generation, reminding us of the freedom we enjoy and the very high price which comes with it.
I can understand the complaints of Destin Jet's helicopter lessons, but complaining about airplane noise while our guys are fighting around the globe shows are priorities are detached from reality.
Maybe Clint Eastwood is correct when he says our country has turned into a bunch of teenage twits (he meant the adults).
If the choice is between airplane noise from old warbirds or terrorists, I believe Clint would ask: "Do you feel lucky?"
Support our Warriors. Always. Everywhere.
Timothy Mahar is a Destin resident.
