In the beginning, God created the Air Force
No, no, no, no, no!
In the beginning God created man. Man spent many years running around on the ground beating each other up, before someone was brave enough to venture out onto the wobbly stuff that surrounded the land to continue the motion.
It was only many, many, many years later that some misguided soul decided to lump together those that wanted to fly and call them the Air Force. So, a bit of an after thought really.
