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? :E

Highway to the Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins :}

Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride.

Flying Tunes
 

Hey guys,
Well I have 48 songs in my ipod under "Flying Tunes", but here are some of my fav's...

-Speed of Sound by Coldplay (many others would agree)
-Clocks by Coldplay
-Learn to fly by Foo Fighters
-The Pretender by Foo Fighters
-Vertigo by U2
-Beautiful Day by U2
-Lerning to Fly by Pink Floyd
-Its my life by Bon Jovi

Cheers
X :ok:

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?? :{

when they found a cheaper brand that saved then $0.01 per serve

'These Days' - by powderfinger:ok:

'Takeoffs and Landings' - The Ataris

Welcome To The Jungle (jet) - Guns 'n Roses :}

For those Embraer pilots :E

Fly Away - Lenny Kravitz
It's My Turn To Fly - The Urge
Ozone - Fuel



Ride of the Valkyries always goes through my head when I see a homebuilt flying inbound:E

Another classic; Jump - Van Halen :ok:

Close - Blue Angels in the clip - back in the good ol' Scooter days.

Err - why's that Cap'n? :)

I play Born to be Wild when flying my homebuilt :ok:

1000 Miles Away - Hoodo Gurus

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.:O:ok:

...when I see a PARTICULAR homebuilt flying around...

Steven Stills - Tree Top Flyer

Guys and Gals, do yourself a favour and get on board!!!
You won't be dissappointed.

Recommended to me by a great mate and music reverend Ali G. Cheers

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.

Listening to "Top Gun" music while flying your private GA aircraft has got to be right up there with wearing epaulettes.
