What's your favorite tune with a flying subject?
I don't remember the title, but it is a Joe Walsh song. The lyrics, "Standin' in the runway, wavin' at the plane, there goes everything I own!" Reminds me of the guy in northeast Ohio who didn't secure his Champ when he propped it. The airplane took off with no one onboard. It flew for over an hour before settling into some trees in Pennsylvania.

Bingo. That is my favorite one too. I prefer Bob Dylan's cover.
My second favorite is Learning to Fly by Pink Floyd.

"I Have Arrived", Dwayne O'Brien. Written by a pilot, for pilots.
Agree 100%. In fact, O'Brien's CD, "Song Pilot" (Published 2001 by Flight Song Records) is an entire CD of flying songs written by O'Brien, an aerobatic pilot, EAA and AOPA member, and former member of the group "Little Feat". We played that disk in our hotel lobby (on shuffle play with 4 other disks) continuously for almost two years, until our small-but-vocal staff threatened to mutiny if they heard it again! Interestingly, I just noticed (after a search) that Little Feat's current CD is called "Barn Stormin'" -- even though O'Brien isn't with them anymore. I wonder if they all fly? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
