The U.S. Air Force Blue

(

)

~~... that "men with a dream on America's team" wear "U.S. Air Force Blue"?~~

ALT-1 ... that the color U.S. Air Force blue consists of the blue from the sky, a pretty girl's eyes, and a touch of Old Glory's hue?

ALT-2 ... that "The U.S. Air Force Blue" started as an advertising jingle for U.S. Air Force recruiting ads?

– Hook is interesting but it seems like it's presented in 'poetic' verse, (e.g."men with a dream", "Pretty girl's eyes") rather than in a factual, encyclopedic fashion. You might prefix the hook with, "The U.S. Air Force recruiting song says..." Citation [5] needs a page number. Also, no need to link common knowledge terms like 'sky' and 'girl'. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 19:08, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, updated and new Alt proposed. Chetsford (talk) 01:32, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

ALT2 is fine. Article is new enough and long enough. Hook is within proper limits and interesting. AGF on citation requiring subscription to view.. Other citation fine. Image (video) created by US gov and is in the public domain. No close para-phrasing, no duplicate links. QPQ satified. -- Good to go. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:21, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
