wild blue yonder
Far aerial reaches
Wild blue yonder refers to the sky or the far distance, especially as a realm of adventure or the unknown.
The phrase evokes vast open airspace and appears most famously in the U.S.
Air Force song: Off we go into the wild blue yonder.
More broadly, it suggests any remote, unexplored territory: She quit her job and headed off into the wild blue yonder.
