The Full Form of WBY is Wild Blue Yonder.

The Wild Blue Yonder is a 2005 science fiction film by German director Werner Herzog. It was presented at the 62nd Venice Film Festival, where it was awarded the FIPRESCI Prize. It went on to screen in competition at the Mar del Plata Film Festival and the Sitges Film Festival, it won “Carnet Jove – Special Mention” at the latter. Most of the film consists of recontextualized documentary footage which is overlaid with fictional (sometimes fantastical) narration. This technique was used in Herzog’s earlier film Lessons of Darkness.

The film’s name comes from the first line of the song “The U.S. Air Force”. The scenes in space are courtesy of NASA.

Wild Blue Yonder was born in the year 2000 when singer/songwriters Melissa Wade and Philip Coward decided to join forces and share their love of acoustic music with new audiences. The two had been playing other types of music, on piano and electric guitar respectively, for many years when they felt the call to return to their roots musically. Plodding the fields of bluegrass festivals brought them various pickers who served as band members on and off for a time, but when they stumbled upon two fiddle-playing sisters, Cindy Wallace and Laura Knight, they found a musical spark that has endured.

Wild Blue Yonder (The Air Force Song) Lyrics

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 now!)
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one heckuva roar!
We live in fame, or go down in flame,
Hey! Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high into the blue,
Hands of men blasted the world asunder,
How they lived God only knew!
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer,
Gave us wings ever so soar,
With scouts before and bombers galore, Hey!
Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Here’s a roast to the host of those
Who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send a message,
Of his brother men who fly,
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar,
To score the rainbow’s pot of gold,
A toast to the host of men we boast, the U.S. Air Force

Zoom!

Off we go into the wild sky yonder,
Keep the wings level and true,
If you’d live to be a grey haired wonder,
Keep your nose out of the blue! (Out of the blue, boy!)
Flying men, guarding the nation’s border,
We’ll be there, followed by more,
In echelon we carry on, Hey!
Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!
