In Da Booth

im obeast with these lyrics like the fat lady at the opera
play the violins because im about to spray the chopper
the chopper is my lyrics im spitting to these so called beast
im the fairytale prince freeing the princess from the beast
killing the booth so bad
when i enter the mic scream
like its too close to the amps
i guest my words are too extreme
candy apples and red paint makes up my candy ride
switching lanes, leaving stains, cus if i stop they hop inside
so i cant take no risk
no risk i can take of this
im super terrific match-less supreme superlative
ace beyond compare the boss over-creative
words cant describe me
so ima describe me at my highest degree
(leave to bars blank)
high pitch
to the top of the peak
my perfection should be wrote out in greek

I've always loved airplanes and flight. The space program was really important to me as a kid. I still have a photo of Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon in my living room.

The two things that could have been better is number one, to get major military force into the community almost immediately to make sure that there was law and order. Number two, we had enough helicopters to airlift food into the centers of population and those places.

I Didn't Want To Set My Foot

I didn't want to set my foot
In this strange city
But I had no choice
Because the airplane
Had landed in this city at the airport

K-Car

To the memory of the Rhodesian Helicopter Pilots and
the 20mm cannon Gunner.Two men one helicopter;
known as K-car…..Killer-car.
A formidable force in the Rhodesian Bush War.

RHODESIAN K-CAR

‘Chopper’ pilot calmness,
Cannon gunner’s skill,
Two minds in perfect harmony,
Flew in now for the kill,
Ten comrades in arms,
Pinned down by enemy fire,
Ambushed and compromised,
Their backs now to the wire.

One pilot and one gunner,
Men who knew no fear,
S.O.S. came through to them,
Urgent… but so clear,

Chao Boo Sang

into the land of less oil
imagining that wooden boat with white sails
into the land of mines before
i should not hear
the sounds of wailing children again
i must not see half arms
a quarter of some legs
cut ears and
exploding choppers

there i will shop and tour
see the past and smile the future
khum ung.

If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a ""peace conference,"" you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes.

I jump out of perfectly good airplanes, and it's a great thrill and it allows me to share in the dangers that our great men and women in uniform share in on a regular basis.

I have significant concerns about reducing the 188th Fighter Wing's capabilities, and will fight tooth and nail against attempts to reduce its personnel or take away aircraft.

The Modest Jazz-Bird

The Jazz-bird sings a barnyard song—
A cock-a-doodle bray,
A jingle-bells, a boiler works,
A he-man's roundelay.

The eagle said, 'My noisy son,
I send you out to fight!'
So the youngster spread his sunflower wings
And roared with all his might.

His headlight eyes went flashing
From Oregon to Maine;
And the land was dark with airships
In the darting Jazz-bird's train.

Crossing the howling ocean,
His bell-mouth shook the sky;
And the Yankees in the trenches
Gave back the hue and cry.

My wife had taken off on a plane. Two airplanes had crashed into the World Trade Center. I, of course, like any other person, felt potentially devastated, panicky a little bit.

The Machine

The little biplane that has the river-meadow for landing-field
And carries passengers brief rides,
Buzzed overhead on the tender blue above the orange of sundown.
Below it five troubled night-herons
Turned short over the shore from its course, four east, one northward.
Beyond them
Swam the new moon in amber.
I don't know why, but lately the forms of things appear to me with time
One of their visible dimensions.
The thread brightness of the bent moon appeared enormous, unnumbered
Ages of years; the night-herons
Their natural size, they have croaked over the shore in the hush at sundown
Much longer than human language
Has fumbled with the air: but the plane having no past but a certain future,
Insect in size as in form,
Was also accepted, all these forms of power placed without preference
In the grave arrangement of the evening.

The Grand Canyon

My mind has this
Subconscious knack
Of blocking out
Painful memories
Not even a flashback
Lucky me

But look see
What's this valley
Of a gaping hole
The Grand Canyon
As the helicopter
Circles about

Unser Gott

They held a great prayer-service in Berlin,
And augured German triumph from some words
Said to be spoken by the Jewish God
To Gideon, which signified that He
Was staunchly partial to the Israelites.
The aisles were thronged; and in the royal box
(I had it from a tourist who was there,
Clutching her passport, anxious, like the rest),
There sat the Kaiser, looking 'very sad.'
And then they sang; she said it shook the heart.
The women sobbed; tears salted bearded lips
Unheeded; and my friend looked back and saw
A young girl crumple in her mother's arms.
They carried out a score of them, she said,
While German hearts, through bursting German throats
Poured out, Ein Feste Burg Ist Unser Gott!

(Yea, 'Unser Gott! Our strength is Unser Gott!
Not that light-minded Bon Dieu of France!')

It's hard to tell whether the ship or airplane - they're all the same, I'm convinced - is male or female; it may shift back and forth.

Rocket

Cape canaveral florida, ready for takeoff stages
Zoom destination an isolated planet mars
On which observed many relics of past ages
On return despite rocks no spars
2nd destination worlds largest planet jupiter
From there obtained some ancient relics
When returned at base -- we want hoopiter!
And we would like some fancy cows milk
3rd destinations many ringed planet saturn
While there darted among the rings
At base had a few thoughts of astral matter
Again at base a welcoming with sings
4th zoom destination to an isolated planet neptune
Whose surface was clear of any vegetation
At base quote -- would like large dirigible balloon
During when there was no hesitation
5th zoom destination smallest planet pluto
On which there are many beautiful sights
It has no vegetation you know
No power to illuminate dark nights.

Later, in the early teens, I used to ride my bike every Saturday morning to the nearest airport, ten miles away, push airplanes in and out of the hangars, and clean up the hangars.

Glow

Is the airplane sweeping low?
Dropping leaflets down below.
Ho, ho, ho. what they read, what they read
[aw commation]
Is affecting you
Prince othello

Othello, the fellow, othello, othello
[down wine] pho-to, oh

What does this mean to me?
Well, got the airplane sweeping low
Dropping photo of othello
The fellow, othello is gonna
Make you
Glow, glow, glow.
Glow, glow. glow.

In Germany air became generally accepted Berlin in this area. It operated with 45 airplanes within the Low Cost range from Germany, and is one the most successful carriers in Europe.
