LOW FLIGHT


Anonymous

Oh! I've slipped through swirling clouds of dust, a few feet from the dirt.
I've flown the Intruder low enough to make my bottom hurt.
I've SRTC'd the desert, hills and valley, mountains, too.
Frolicked in the trees, where only flying squirrels flew.
Chased the frightened cows along, disturbed the ram and ewe,
and done a hundred other things, that you'd only care to do.
I've smacked the tiny sparrow, bluebird, robin, all the rest.
I've injested baby eagles, simply sucked them from their nest.
I've streaked through total darkness, just the other guy and me,
and spent the night in terror of things I could not see.
I've turned my eyes to heaven, as I sweated through the flight,
put out my tired hand and touched The Master Caution Light.

Another great one I found:

The LSO's Prayer

The LSO is my shepherd, I shall not crash
He maketh me land on grey runways:
He waveth me off rough waters, he restoreth my confidence
He leadeth me to safe landing for his name's sake
Yea, though I come stalling into the groove at sixty knots,
I shall fear no evil, for thou art with me - thy word and thy paddles, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a deck before me in the presence of mine enemies,
Thou attacheth my hook to a wire; my deckspace runneth over.
Surely, safety and caution shall follow me all my days in the fleet, and
I will dwell in a fool's paradise forever.
