A guy looking at my parents horses wanted to see my
F-4 sim and was very impressed. it turns out his
daughtor worked on F-4s and she was so sad while
watching it's last flight that she wrote a poem and he
was kind enough to email me a copy.

One Last Flight
 By Denise P. Marsden, US Marine F-4 Hydraulics
specialist
 Written in January Of 1988
 
 On silver wings
 the Phantom flies
 a mighty steed
 across endless skies
 
 She's searching for battle
 for one more fight
 before she comes in
 from her last flight
 
 With thundering power
 she banks and turns
 and even her pilot
 can feel how she yearns
 
 She plunges ahead
 begging to race
 not many a bird
 can match her fiery pace
 
 Her throttles move forward
 her engines roar
 the clouds stream past
 yet she asks for more
 
 The wind strains to catch her
 and begs for a chance
 to waltz with her
 on her last dance
 
 The music departs
 and the wind blows by
 as twilight's glow
 touches the sky
 
 Her journey is over
 her battles all won
 as she settles to earth
 like the setting sun
 
 Her engines are silent now
 She won't fly again
 but her legend'll live on
 in the dreams of men
