If this does not give you a slight chill, or at least raise a few hairs, then have someone check your pulse, cause you haven't lived yet till you can at least appreciate what these words mean to a great many people, let alone the author.
Thank You, And R.I.P:
Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee
No 412 squadron, RCAF
Killed 11 December 1941

May you always have the wind in your favor.

@Pippin76 I am a Canadian and I thought this was a great way to end a night on TV.

My dad is one of the pilots in this video. I was born at Tyndall shortly before it was filmed.

This movie was filmed at Tyndal AFB in Panama City Fla. either 1969 or 1970. There was a ATC attachment that taught pilots to be instructor pilots,the 3250th Flying training squadron. I was the early am crew chief on this plane and 4 others on the line. They used this plane #556 because it had just come out of the paint shop. I also crewed the sister plane #555 also known as the hanger queen. They made an exception for the camera guy to sit in the back seat, normally the instructors seat.

This is the version that I remember waking up to on WTAE-TV (Pittsburgh) late night after dosing off in front of the TV. I'd hear the jet take off and the music start. Then, I'd listen to those riveting words and watch the jet dance among the clouds before dragging myself to bed. It was a nice way to end my night. Thnx for the post!
