The U.S. 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, Give 'er the gun! Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, Off with one hell of a roar!* We live in fame or go down in flame. Nothing can stop the U.S. 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! (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 U.S. Air Force! Here's a toast to the host Of those who love the vastness of the sky, To a friend we send a 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 U.S. Air Force! Off we go into the wild sky yonder, Keep the wings level and true; If you'd live to be a grey-haired wonder Keep the nose out of the blue! (Out of the blue, boy!) Flying men, guarding the nation's border, We'll be there, followed by more! In echelon we carry on. Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force! By Captain Robert MacArthur Crawford

Down one table and to the left you can listen to the Air Force Band's rendition of this great tune.

It's surprising how many people don't know the bridge portion "here's a toast to the host...". My ALS class did a presentation on the AF song that involved a member of the class (yours truly) singing the bridge. At the end of the ceremony I had a MSgt first shirt who came up to me and asked what the title was of the song I sang.
