One of our greatest heroes!
John Glenn flew 149 combat missions during WWII and Korea earning the nicknames MiG-Mad Marine and Old Magnet *** for bringing his fighters back full of holes from flying at low altitudes.
God Speed indeed...truly "Zero-G and feeling fine" now.

A final Salute to you, John Glenn.

High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air… .

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

— John Gillespie Magee, Jr

Those were the days!

God Bless!
