The Mission



The Mission     
          (port dawgs)

Z time our time any time
Were ready for the call staging in the hall
M16's and 93's through the next door please
Weather brief down range a breeze
Heavy's to drop through the trees
463L eighty eight by one O eight
Check all ID's at the gate
Tunners at the ready rising to the occasion
One, two, three in a row
They can really put on a show
Slinging chains to and fro
This aircraft is ready to go
Engines running all clear from tower
Pull chocks and taxi, wheels up on time
Another great mission from the 2t2's
