| RIDE
WITH THE RAIDERS! |
|  Hold
on tight as over three thousand
horsepower pulls you toward
the heavens. With a little imagination,
you can get a small sense of
what it must have been like
for the Raiders as they departed
Shangri-La! Peer out the windows,
don’t worry, the guns
aren’t loaded. You won’t
be encountering any flak on
today’s mission, and any
fighters you see will be friendly.
Use your imagination; the ground
below is enemy territory. The
bomber you are riding in is
not bulletproof; it is made
out of aluminum! They were propelled
into the history books, not
by gasoline, but by the courage
of their crewmembers!
