cynthjohnson Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I am looking for a memorial poem that was posted on this website years ago. It was written specifically for the memorial of C130 pilots. Anyone remember or have a copy of it? Printed it off at the time and now can't find it.

BobWoods Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Is this what you are looking for? ODE TO THE HERCULES AVIATOR by Bob Woods Do not stand at my Tomb and weep for me I am not there for I do not sleep you see I am the thousands of Hercs that fly I am the roar of the wind on high I am the rush of a Herc in powered flight I am the beacons that shine in the night I am the odor of jet fuel and the starter whine I am the tire squeal on a landing, that was mine I am the stars that shine at night I am the sun you see at first light I am the jeweled glints on rime covered wings Think of me kindly for I am all these things At my graveside you should not have cried For so long as Hercs fly, I have not died.

gizzard Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hey, Bob, how come I never heard this'n from you????????? I think it is great, and have added it to my eulogy program..........along with "High Flight" and its parody that Russ Popejoy sent me several years a go.
