Question: is there something similar in the US? _The_ aviator song?

"Rocket Man" by Elton John?
"Sky Pilot" by The Animals? http://www.rjsmith.com/skypilot.html
"Aeroplane" (Red Hot Chili Peppers)?
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/red-hot...rs/114791.html

In any event, it's definitely not "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins

"Come Fly With Me" by ????

"Off we go, into the wild blue yonder, flying high, into the sun . . . "

Funny what sticks deep in the memory banks and can come right back to
the surface many decades later. To (mostly) finish the above:

Off we go, into the wild blue yonder,
Flying high, into the sun.
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
At 'em, boys! Give her the gun!
(Give her the gun now!)

Up we climb, da da da da da da da da,
Off with one hell of a roar.
We live in fame, or go down in flame,
(Shout
Nothing can stop the Army Air Corp!!!

(with which I never had anything to do)

And there's also

"Come, Josephine, in my flying machine . . . "

I always thought it was 'Danger Zone' by Kenny Loggins.

Either that, or 'Into the air, junior birdmen'.

I wondered when this version would appear...I was all ready to
send it along!

Personally, I vote for "Come Fly with Me" or the USAF song.

On a similar note, is there a song for spending too much money
on the airplane?

That is not possible.

"Except the Navy.." As my Dad and his cronies used to inject into the
song right at that point.
