Seeking An Evocative Phrase

My pictures are divided into folders according to their subject matter. I have tried to give each folder a somewhat poetic or whimsical name, whilst still being linked to its subject matter and of suitable length.

For example, my ‘Politics’ folder is named “An Endless Series of Hobgoblins”, referring to H. L. Mencken’s line that “the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

I have yet to find a suitable name for my ‘Military Aviation’ folder. Candidates that I have considered:

“The Need for Speed” (from the exchange between Maverick and Goose in Top Gun)
“Stay on Target” (repeated line from the Death Star trench run in Star Wars)
“Anything that Flies on Anything that Moves” (Henry Kissinger, conveying Richard Nixon’s order to commence the bombing of Cambodia)

Any suggestions?
