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 flame from under, Off with one hell-uv-a roar! We line in fame, or go down in flame, Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force! |

Airmans Creed

I am an American Airman.
I am a warrior. I have answered my nation's call. I am an American Airman. My mission is to fly, fight, and win. I am faithful to a proud heritage. A tradition of honor, And a legacy of valor. I am an American Airman, Guardian of freedom and justice, My nation's sword and shield, Its sentry and avenger. I defend my country with my life. I am an American Airman; Wingman, leader, warrior. I will never leave an airman behind, I will never falter, And I will not fail. |
