Countdown - Rush (first shuttle flight)
Learning To Fly - Pink Floyd
Major Tom - Peter Schilling

Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum (used in movie Apollo 13)
High Speed Dirt - Megadeth (skydiving)
Broken Wings - Mr. Mister (used to listen to this a lot when
flight simming back in the 80's, so it's a personal association)
