Rolling down the runway
throttles open wide
See the mighty Phantom
sway from side to side
Airborne again without a blip
Its just one more aborted trip
but we're pressing on regardless
For the wg cdrs AFC
Went to early briefing
Climbed into the kite
Opened up the throttles
And roared into the night
Leaving the flare path far behind
Its dark outside but we dont mind
Cos we're pressing on regardless
For the wg cdr's AFC
now the war is over
we've reached the promise land
the Wg cdr meets us and shakes us by the hand
well done chaps
I thank you men
I've just received by BEM
but we're pressing on regardless
for the wg cdr's AFC (and bar)
rolling down the runway
throttle open wide
see the mighty Falcon
sway from side to side
airborne again with just 9 G
I wish I had a nav with me (!)
But we're pressing on regardless
For the wg dr's AFC
rolling down the runway
throttles open wide
see the mighty Jaguar
sway from side to side
Airborne again, but only just
Its not much fun
With F*** all thrust
But.... etc
Have the words for several other charming ditties but most aren't too pc in this multi-sexuality world, you might know this one though:
When you're a pilot (to the tune of when I'm 64)
when youre a pilot on treble 1
you're on QRA
Dumping all your missiles
in the forth of tay
you don't need them
throw them away
you sit on your bar stool drinking your milk
we think you're a bunch of bums
Nobody needs you, nobody heeds you
F*** off treble 1 x2
When you're a pilot on treble 1
You are on display
Flying your formation in St Andrews Cross
Who authorised that - best ask the boss
Coming round finals, number 2 makes a twitch
Then your wing tips gone
Theres a big load of spray and you end in the bay so
F*** off treble 1 x2
When you're a pilot on 74
you fly in straight lines
Dresing up in all your fancy yankee kit
we don't need you, you give us the s**ts
you sit on your bar stool drinking your milk
then fall on the floor
Nobody needs you, nobody heeds you
F*** off 74 x2
