Ace's High

A rush of adrenaline-induced euphoria experienced by high-speed, low-flying jet fighter pilots dodging incoming missiles, flak, and small arms fire as they zero in on their target. Missions known to trigger Ace's High episodes range from F-16s destroying reactor sites in Iraq, to spacefaring vessels running along a battle planetoid's equator in search of a juicy exhaust port; all the way to Ukrainian drones finding a thicc Russian tonk.

The antithesis of Ace's High is The 'Nam. Naturally.

Dickey: Wasn't your great great grandpappy a fighter pilot?
Mitch: Hell yes he was! He always shared stories about his Ace's High experiences during the Battle of Britain. Always said it helped him kick his heroin habit.
Dickey: Hm. I should join some African air carrier. Or Spirit Airlines...

Aces High

1.) In a card game an ace can be the lowest or highest card in the deck, in this case it is the highest. If it was the lowest it would be known as Aces Low.

2.) High stakes; Slang for a dangerous event; No turning back

1.) While playing a card game someone asked, "Are aces low or high"? I replied, "It's Aces High"

Aces High

An awesome song about the Spitfire by British metal Gods, Iron Maiden.

This is the first track on their 1984 album Powerslave.

At the 3 minute, 58 second mark of Aces High, Bruce Dickinson sounds af if someone just dropped an anvil on his bollocks.
