@derek Very nice, thanks!

@ajroach42 is way into airships and sky pirates & even wrote this "Maifesto of the Sky Pirate".

#SkyPirates #manifesto

The manifesto of the sky pirate.

We want you to be a sky pirate.

The essential elements of sky piracy are poetry, audacity and revolutionary joy. 

Beauty exists in all things, and most significantly in the joy of revolution.

We are facing the end of society as we have known it, and must be ready to suppport one another and build a new world on the remnants of the old.

The splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty,  the beauty of slow, an airship wafting through the sky, a nap is more beautiful than gunfire. 

We will build museums and libraries, fight capitalism,  fascism, and all bigots and opportunists.

Each of us is a poet, each poet among us must make the revolution irresistible. 

We will exalt movements of compassion, thoughtfulness, mutual aid, and revolutionary joy. 

We will build the new world, and you will join us.
