The Lyrics
A tribute to John Glenn, fighter pilot, test pilot, astronaut, and political figure who died yesterday at age 95. I'm covering his military aircraft.
Planes he flew,
Start R4D*,
Then Vought Corsair to Jap defeat
Postwar nudged,
A Panther "Magnet Ass" flew,
250 holes in his fuselage not news!
Planes he flew,
F-86D,
Yalu River, downed three MiG-15s
Test pilot fun,
Crusader "super" transcontinental boom
Cali to NY in 3:23:8.5 zoom (a record)!
Into space in a capsule immortalized you.
John Glenn, American Hero, we'll miss you!
R.I.P.

Blue skies, John Glenn! You were my childhood hero - and fives to the fine parody.
