High Flight

[KosanChim1982]

Many classic television stations concludes their broadcasting days with "high flight" and national anthem

Magnificent! I've always believed that flight and freedom are so wonderfully intertwined. This serves as a reminder.

May God rest his soul: John Gillespie Magee, Jr..

Q: Was that Morgan Freeman who narrated "High Flight" by John Gillespie MaGee, Jr. in this film?

[pernelldh]

It was our sign-off at WTTV Ch. 4 Indianapolis around the late 1970s or early 1980s.

my Dad was the Wing Commander at an ATC base

[hunterhalo2]

My god all this from the cockpit of a spitfire. What would he have said after an orbit of earth. I cry that he was killed.

[mesquiteguy1221]

@hunterhalo2 Yes But his legacy lives on in his poetry and his short life

[fatkinson1954]

The end is so magnificient with the image of the jet against the sun.

[mesquiteguy1221]

Yeah this is one of the better videos that I have seen on youtube. I have this poem with a Spitfire Mk V wheeling thru the sky in the back ground. hanging in my room. BUT I need to get a new frame for it. It's one of my FAV poems. Being Ex-Airforce myself.

Nice F-5. Beautiful poem beauty in words.

[USNJetJockey]

@Ripley44mag - It is actually a T-38A

[everythinguwanted]

@USNJetJockey  Is this the same as the civilian moniker F5 Tigershark?

[USNJetJockey]

@USNJetJockey No, the Tigershark was a single engine design by Northrop based on the same airframe but a much different aircraft.
