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.

George Patterson
Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

I'd have to vote for Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone"...something about that
and the first few minutes of Top Gun that just seem to go together.

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)

Sed quis custodiet ipsos Custodes?

"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?
