Aaaayeee!
I want to fly,
Like a dingbat
in the sky!
Clear the tarmac,
hold your hat!
He is going up again
Max the aerobat!
Kick the tyre,
Light up the fire
He’s a dingbat,
not a high-flier.
Clear the taxy track,
now no turning back!
Slowly gathering speed
watching angle of attack.
The ground is shaking
the noise is dying
Why on earth is he
crazy for flying?
He slams the throttles,
leaves the brakes,
Just to see how much G
this airframe takes!
Stick in his gut,
he pull up to stars,
Steep vertical climb
Is he going to Mars?
He’ll zoom away
into the deep blue,
and dive down to paint
vapour trails on you!
The tower yells,
“maintain fifty feet!”
He\'s already inverted
Hanging from his seat!
G-suit is hissing
eyeballs are red,
push the nose up
and roll out ahead!
He snaps to the left,
his wicked fast roll,
Barrels in circles
completely off control!
A loose gathering turn
Just enough to recoup!
Going in a wing over,
for looping the loop.
Zero airspeed,
the nose starts to freeze,
Dropping like a coconut
caught in a breeze!
A rudder kick sideways.
stall turn in the sun,
Aaign with the verticle,
boy this is fun!
Stall into a spin,
going round and around,
humming sweet melodies
heading for the ground!
Count every turn
one, two, and three,
Careful enough to recover
When you see a tree!
Pull up, stomp the pedal,
reverse into a slide.
A loop yaw and tumble,
Hell of a crazy ride!
Pull that stick backward
horizon on the wingspan,
Half a loop and roll off
That\'s an Immelmann!
Dingbat in the cockpit,
king of the flight,
Lighting up the radar
with pure dynamite!
Fuel needle twitching
right down to the rest,
Birds down below
ducking for their nest!
Roll on downwind,
tight little break.
Tighter than the turn
that an auto can make!
A razor-sharp circuit
right onto the slot,
Gliding in spicy,
smoking and hot!
Flaring it out
with a rubbery squeal!
Wheels kiss the tarmac,
smooth as an eel.
Rolls down the runway
popping up the chute,
He is giving you
a snappy salute!
When the sun shines,
Let\'s make all the hay.
Madmax wishes you
A Happy Air Force day!
