I am a United States Navy Flyer.

My countrymen built the best airplane in the world and entrusted it to me. They trained me to fly it. I will use it to the absolute limit of my power.

With my fellow pilots, aircrew and deck crews, my plane and I will do anything necessary to carry out our tremendous responsibilities. I will always remember we are part of an unbeatable combat team ö the United States Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.

When the going is fast and rough, I will not falter. I will be uncompromising in every blow I strike. I will be humble in victory.

I am a United States Navy Flyer. I have dedicated myself to my country, and its many millions of people. They and their way of life are worthy of my greatest protective effort.

I ask the help of God in making that effort great enough.
