| Air Force Song 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 flaming from under Off with one helluva 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 lived God only knew! Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer Gave us wings ever to soar. With scout before and bomber galore, Nothing can stop the US Air Force! Off we go into the wild sky yonder Keep the wing level and true If you'd live to be a gray haired wonder Keep the nose out of the blue Flying men, guarding our nation's borders We'll be there followed by more In echelon, we carry on Nothing can stop the US Air Force! Story behind the Third Verse The following is the third verse of the Air Force song, and is to be recited as a prayer in memory of fellow men and women who have fallen. In respect of those whom the prayer is for, it is to be recited quietly under one’s breath. The third verse is never sung along with the rest of the Air Force song. It is sung separate from and to a different tune than the other three verses. Here's a toast to the host of those who love the vastness of the sky, To a friend we send this 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! |
