(Had a discussion about the P-39 today on squad. Below is referenced text)
Give Me Operations
Author unknown, Air Force traditional
CHORUS:
Give me operations way out on some lonely atoll
For I am too young to die; I just want to grow old
Don't give me a P-38; the props, they counter-rotate
She's smattered and smitten from Burma to Britain
Don't give me a P-38
CHORUS
Don't give me a P-39; the engine is mounted behind
She'll tumble and roll, and she'll bore a deep hole
Don't give me a P-39
CHORUS
Don't give me a Peter-four-oh; it's a hell of an airplane, I know
A ground-looping *******, you're bound to get plastered
Don't give me a Peter-four-oh
CHORUS
Don't give me an old Thunderbolt; she gave many pilots a jolt
It looks like a jug, and it flies like a tug
Don't give me an old Thunderbolt
CHORUS
Don't give me a P-51; the airplane that's second to none
She'll loop, roll and spin, but she'll auger you in
Don't give me a P-51
CHORUS
Don't give me an F-82; that monster from out of the blue
You won't understand just who's in command
Don't give me an F-82
CHORUS
Don't five me an old Shooting Star; she goes, but not very far
She'll rumble and spout, and will surely flame out
Don't give me an old Shooting Star

That is the version done by Oscar Brand. They are worth a youtube search if you want to find some more aviation or military themed comical music. :cheers:
