"Twas the night before release,and all through The DCS House
Not a Hornet Driver was sleeping,instead making up excuses to use on the spouse
As The final Wags video made it to post,
It had been confirmed, The Sparrow Missile we would boast
Going through NATOPS ,Marshall Stack notes and books
We were mentally folding wings and deploying tail hooks
Systems were tweeked,extra RAM had been bought
In hopes of having achieved 90 FPS that we sought
As the time draws closer, F5 buttons were punched
The DCS Pilots were praticing for a flawless catapult launch
Watching Cold Start Videos,and AoA high pitch stall
We knew soon our dream would come true,And We Would be calling "Hornet Ball"
As Igor looked down from Heavens above
I hope he is smiling to see his vision created such aviation love
As I dream of lining up on catapult four
my bit failures checked and my after burner comes to a roar
I will launch from the Stennis at day's first light
I wish all you Hornet Lovers,A Peaceful Safe Happy Night."
