The Critical Care Flight Paramedic Standard
Operating Guidelines are dedicated to our past,
present and future DUSTOFF aircrews who un-
hesitantly go into harm’s way so that other may live.
May you forever be protected by angel’s wings within
the heaven’s on which men fly.

Closing the Flight Plan
(adapted from the Muster Poem by Dr. John Ashton)

In many lands and climes this day
Proud DUSTOFFers unite.
Our loyalty to God and country we pay
And seal a pact with the bond of common might.

We live again those happy days of yore,
On the flight line, in the air, and at drill.
Fond memory brings a sigh – but nothing more
Now we must move on, to live is still a thrill.

Their spirits hover round us; as if to bring us cheer!
Mark them “present” in our hearts, we’ll meet them some other day.
As we softly call the muster – let a comrade present answer “Here.”
There is no life but Life Eternal for Heroes such as they.
