    The poem is “High Flight” by John Gillespie Magee, Jr. The story behind the poem is an interesting one:

    When I was a kid, the local tv station would show a short film at sign off time. The other stations in Columbia South Carolina would play The National Anthem but this station showed this short film of an F104 performing aerobatics while the narrarator read the poem “High Flight”. Gave me chills then and there’s a bump or two on my arms now.
