Had lunch today with friends at Flyboys in Beavercreek -- outstanding location for a group of 12 -- several individual rooms for groups. Staff was very accommodating -- the food was yummy! We all had sandwiches -- and, some had soup -- no complaints at all. Several had the Reuben on marbled rye -- all were very complimentary. Not sure why the owners opted to open yet another deli near the Mall, there are at least three already, but Flyboys is very nice.
The restaurant is decorated with a military aviation theme, and is larger than it appears just driving by. There menu is quite extensive, but our food sandwich, salad was rather ordinary. Not a big fan of ordering at a counter, but there was no one in line when we arrived so it wasn't that bad. The wait for our food was short.
Disappointed to find Flyboys was closed when we tried to eat there on Sunday. We were eager to try this new restaurant and we both wanted a reuben.
They do have a nice menu of sandwiches, paninis and salads so we will be back to try other items. We added potato salad sides and while we liked the skin-on potatoes, it needed more flavor.

Robert MacArthur Crawford wrote the initial first verse and the basic melody line in May of In , when the Air Force became a separate service, the song was retitled, "The U. Arnold persuaded the Chief of the Air Corps, Maj.
Oscar Westover , that the Air Corps needed an official song reflecting their unique identity in the same manner as the other military services, and proposed a song competition with a prize to the winner. However, the Air Corps did not control its budget, and could not give a prize. In April , Bernarr A. Over compositions were received and evaluated by a volunteer committee of senior Air Corps wives with musical backgrounds chaired by Mildred Yount, the wife of Brig.
The committee had until July to make a final choice. However, word eventually spread that the committee did not find any songs that satisfied them, despite the great number of entries. Arnold, who became Chief of the Air Corps in after Westover was killed in a plane crash, solicited direct inquiries from professional composers and commercial publishers, including Meredith Willson and Irving Berlin , but not even Berlin's creation proved satisfactory, although it was used as the title music to Winged Victory by Moss Hart.
Two days before the deadline, music instructor Robert Crawford, a rejected World War One Air Service pilot and professional musician billed as "the Flying Baritone," personally delivered a sound recording of his entry, which proved to be a unanimous winner. Yount recalled that Rudolph Ganz , guest conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra and a consultant to the committee, was immediately and enthusiastically in favor of the winner. The contest rules required the winner to submit his entry in written form, and Crawford immediately complied. Crawford himself publicly sang the song for the first time over national radio from the National Air Races.
Not everyone was fond of the song. During a dinner of September , Mrs.
Yount played a recording of the song for Charles Lindbergh and asked his opinion. He responded politely to Yount, but years later remarked in a diary, "I think it is mediocre at best.
Off we go into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high into the sun; Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, At 'em boys, Give 'er the gun! (Give 'er the gun.

Neither the music nor the words appealed to me. However, the Air Corps did not have enough money to publicize the song, so Crawford arranged a transfer of the song's copyright to New York music publisher Carl Fischer Inc. In addition to the U.
Air Force song, there have been several other songs that have been at times used by the Air Force regionally and nationally during public events. Reviewed August 8, Ask hobbes about Torrey Pines Gliderport.
