Frequently Asked Questions

 Air Force Song

I need to obtain the words to the Air Force song. Can you help me?

The U.S. Air Force Song (Adapted)

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At ‘em now, Give 'em the gun!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

(Verse II)
Brilliant minds fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high into the blue;
Valiant hands blasted the world asunder;
How they lived God only knew!
Boundless souls dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings, ever to soar!
With scouts before and bombers galore. Hey!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

(Verse III)
Here's a toast to the host
Of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send a message of the brave who serve on high.
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 those we boast, the U.S. Air Force!

(Verse IV)
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!
Fly to fight, guarding the nation's border,
We'll be there, followed by more!
In echelon we carry on.
Oh, nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

 Airman's Creed

What are the words to the Airman’s 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.
