Located at the Pima Air & Space Museum and at the south entrance to Hangar 3 is a colorful dedicated bench made of ceramic tiles on the seat with a peom dedicated to William T. Healy and it reads:

High Flight

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silver wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind a long, and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've stopped the windswept heights with easy grace where never lark or even eagle flew -
and while with silent lifting mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
