MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY "I've got 6 MiGs on my ass!" (or SPIN INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE!) (or I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!)

I've loved this and the other Oscar Brand AF songs since I was a kid. My dad, a 26 year AF vet' had the albums in the 50s and I grew up with them. I went on to my own 21 year career in Uncle Sams Flying Circus (1967-1988) and have never forgotten these songs. Thanks for posting them!

An oldie but a goodie.

To this day, when a attending a real Fighter Pilot's funeral or memorial service, it's an honor to throw a nickel on the grass to salute a fallen brother.

@rotundrooster I have known this song since I was a teenager, and to this day I have no idea what the throwing a nickle on the grass has to do with anything unless it is simply for the rhyme scheme.

I don't get the "throw a nickle on the grass,save a fighter pilots ass" thing...maybe just a tad slow.

Great song!

Great song. Didn't you have "Itazuke Tower" on YouTube? If so what happened to it? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
