It's not like that idiot teenager in the Iron Eagle movie who can only fly an F16 with hard rock through his earphones, flying is a potentially dangerous activity for you and others sharing the same airspace. Give aviation respect and you improve your chances. It is idiotic and irresponsible to fly with music. It really doesn't mix. The iPod generation doesn't seem to know it, but it has a real concentration problem. Give your flying your full attention and save the music to unwind with later!
