Mystery Ice Station

This was posted first in 2009 or so. But those were blogger days before I learned YouTube was better. So the thing was lost until I found a great helpful how to fixer.

This is the new explanatory email I put to YouTube:

I read a book on flying by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry when I was a lad. I grew up with the narration and the lazy radio drawl of pilots in my head. That and Republic serials. This is how it came out.

ouTube transcribed it for me:

the plane bumped about slightly off its

trolley as it gathered speed and lifted

the lights of the field arched and

streaked in tracy's view these were

great candle-powered lamps

the lights parallel and dance recall the

teacher's musical staff chalk

contraption he would as a youth play

with on the blackboard after school

supposed to be being punished

[Music]

then tracy was in the air and he saw the

canyons lighter rock strata receding

across the darkness

the mystery ice squadron boys were out

there the shroud valley boys too

he continued to push the throttle while

pirate tearing asleep

near a

snooze listen carefully

to the engine

it was difficult music

very white in the watch tower with

maylocks and cigarettes predicting the

dam was key and the aptly named fog

shrouded cast beyond

texaco super b mail left to come carry

545

passing arrows 555.

the radio chatter crisp he could see the

light of the tubes that glow through the

enforced balsa dash

even in the darkness the metal hall

shined cleanly it was ship's shape

he studied distant cloud systems he

began to protectively circle the dam

a water spirit rose up dancing from the

channel it arose a glossy blooms

spinning integral in its own vortex

it walked in a whisk toward tv ranch

growing darker

powered and appeared by a set of mystery

squadron radio wavelets

[Music]
