Great Flying Songs - a bit of fun
G'day all,
We have the worlds best driving songs, and the worlds best beer songs, but if you were to put together "the worlds best flying songs", what would you have?
For me:
Learning to Fly - Tom Petty
Living on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
My Hero - Foo Fighters
Theme from the Greatest American Hero - Joey Scarbury
Kick Start my heart - motley crue
Nothing but a good time - Poison
The boys are back in town - Thin Lizzy
Higher - Van Halen
Please feel free to add your thoughts and your favourites!
Happy Landings!

Living on a Prayer, isn't that the theme song for most GA pilots?

some more worthy tracks
Mighty Wings (Cheap Trick) - Top Gun
Hide in the Rainbow (Dio) - Iron Eagle, it's the song Doug Masters plays when his wingman (Louis Gossett Jnr) is shot down. He kicks some serious middle eastern a$$ to that song. I never knew an F-16 had so many missles!
Dreams (Van Halen) Didn't the thunderbirds use that song? or that song used the thunderbirds in the film clip. Either way.
Fly away (Jonh Denver) (he had a pits and a jet I think that counts)
Leaving on a jet plane (John Denver)
Aces High (Iron Maiden) a song about the battle of britain
Learning to fly (Pink Floyd) the only song I know that has an ATC track on it
... surely someone has to mention ol blue eyes...... come fly with me?

Aeroplane Jelly Song 
I like Ae-ro-plane Jel-ly, Ae-ro-plane Jel-ly for me.
I like it for din-ner, I like it for tea,
A litt-le each day is a good re-ci-pe!
The qua-li-ty's high, as the name will im-ply,
It's made from pure fruit - one more good rea-son why
I like Ae-ro-plane Jel-ly, Ae-ro-plane Jel-ly for me!
Would anyone care to have a guess when Qantas stopped serving Aeroplane jelly on their flights??

Ride of the Valkyries always goes through my head when I see a homebuilt flying inbound
I play Born to be Wild when flying my homebuilt
RV6 I should elaborate... there is a certain homebuilt (which had all the appearance of the mating of a 3 wood and a hang glider) that I used to see all the time, which seemed to always be in such a position as to cause the utmost inconvenience to me (including flying so slow in the circuit that I couldn't remain safely behind him in a C150). Hence that aircraft is now firmly assosciatied in my mind with Ride of the Valkyries. Or possibly the Imperial March from Star Wars.
No offence intended to any other homebuilt drivers out there! Should have worded that more carefully.
...when I see a PARTICULAR homebuilt flying around...

No offence taken, Capt'n. Have had the same thought myself occasionally when stuck behind a C150 in the circuit...
Only joking
Have also been known to listen to Smoke on the Water in the privacy of my own cockpit.
