Yip, if you want them all asleep then Albatross should do the trick!!!
'She sells sanctuary' The Cult, and 'Bohemian Like You', by Dandy Warhols always go down well on flying vids - unless of course your audience are OAPs in which case they would go down about as well as a sh!t sandwich!
So depends entirely on subject and audience!

Check out:

Craig Armstrong (Film Works, As if to Nothing or The Space Between Us albums). His music is often used in parts on the Top Gear BBC1 programme.

Also used on Top Gear is material by Hybrid (Morning Sci-Fi or Wider Angle albums).

Okay so your presentation is about aircraft not cars I suspect.

How about some Hans Zimmer (Journey to the Line etc)?

If you want loud and the presentation is anything to do with current Ops - try 'To them these streets belong', track 6 on the album "Siren song of the counter culture" by Rise against. Preview it here: http://www.riseagainst.com/music/default.aspx/pid/1947

Aye

Cor! What's with this board and good music taste all of a sudden? Rise Against are awesome, seen them a couple of times.
I believe they have a new album coming out in July

'Spitfire - Prelude and Fugue' by William Walton.

Absolutely perfect for aerial shots.

Also selective pieces from 'Battle of Britain' starring Michael York, et al...

Battle scenes including prelude to battle are accompanied very nicely by Carmina Burana by Orrff used for the Old Spice adverts.

For quite flying shots try Journey to the Sorcerer by the Eagles. It was the music used for Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy

I agree with almost all of the classical stuff, but I would add Pink Floyd. Some of the chaps are by now almost old enough to be counted as classical, but they still amaze and delight.

I remember seeing a video done by the Buccanner guys of a trip to Gib. The music was all done by Vangelis, very atmospheric.

Tombstone
Already mentioned above.

Forget Albatross - it's been done to death and will forever be associated with carving a M&S chicken.

So how about 'The Birdie Song'? Totally appropriate.

Vegas Two Times, Stereophonics

Slow quiet intro, followed by an explosive entry into the song. great to awaken a slow lecture.

Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive, Johnny Mercer

(Ghost) Riders in the sky, Johnny Cash

Pink Floyd Meddle "Echoes". Once heard it backing the Reds, and it worked a treat.

good god no wonder you lot fly - you certainly have limited musical taste!

OK.... here go some killer tunes for flight sequences....

Speed of Sound - Coldplay
Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand (try to time explosions into chorus - Ascent did this on their video for UKMFTS)
Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters
Bring Me To Life - Evanesance
