Off we go into the wild blue yonder
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At'em boys, giv'er the gun!
Down we dive spouting our flames from under,
Off with one hell-uv-a roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame,
Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!

Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder
Sent it high into the blue
Hands of men blasted the world asunder,
How they live God only knew!
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings ever to soar,
With scouts before and bombers galore,
Nothing can stop the US Air Force!

Here's a toast to the host of those
Who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send the message
Of his brother men who fly.
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar
to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of men we boast the US Air Force.

Off we go into the wild sky yonder,
Keep the wings level and true!
If you'd live to be a gray haired wonder,
Keep your nose out of the blue!
Flying men guarding our nation's boarders,
We'll be there followed by more,
In echelon we carry on!
Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!

And my Father-in-law was there! He was originally in the Army Air Corp. We're very proud of him!

Congratulations to all serving in the Air Force. I've never met an Air Force man or woman that I didn't respect.

Thanks for posting the words. My dad was in the AF during the Korean war. I can't wait until the air show this year! I better call for the tickets.

DH and I argue (good-naturedly) about which is better, the Air Force or the Navy. I grew up an Air Force brat and he was in the Navy. I'll have to show him this.

Go Air Force! Fly high.
