Johnny Paycheck....."Take This Job and Shove It! I Ain't Working Here No More!":{

Flight of the Valkyries - Wagner
The Wall - Pink Floyd
Clearly no Imagination - Me

Teach me how to fly, by Jeff St John

Drop the pilot, Joan Armatrading

Ride of the Valkyries

Fly me to the moon

Spend the money and buy a CD of licenced music clips. They come in a huge variety of types like electric, jazzy, mood, cafe and so on. We have used several of these on promo videos to good effect. Get them through the yellow pages. Pay a licence fee depending on how many tapes you make. Otherwise, you might be infringing copyright by using some popular song.

havoc, very nice music

but when i'm flying along, all i hear is 'the muppet show' or 'steptoe and sons'

Learning To Fly - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Guys,

If your after something a little more fast paced may I suggest;

Thunderstruck - AC/DC

Guano Apes - Open your eyes

Music to get the heart pumping!

Trooping:ok:

The third track on Chris Rea's 'New Light Through Old Windows' (sounds like distant rotors in the background, transitioning through to cruise ... aaaah)

NB this was done with a similiar title in the Winter (What Music Do You Play in your Helicopter?? started by Splodge)

Has to be 'Flying without Wings'!

Pantera - 'Cowboys from hell'

Will make you want to go and fly under some low bridges!

And for something a little tongue in cheek, a bit of Airwolf?

Airwolf theme

Anything from Enigma and their singing monks

Something for the younger generation:

Paul van Dyk - For an Angel
Lost Tribe - Gamesmaster
Chicane - Saltwater
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
And of course U2 - The Real Thing

The Essential Flying Selection! :cool:

If I was soundtracking a movie about helicopters and the life of a helicopter pilot, these would be on the list:

Mobile - Avril Lavigne
Right Here Right Now - Jesus Jones
Tangled Up In Blue - Indigo Girls (Dylan)
Dirty Laundry - Lisa Marie Presley (Henley)

Your gonna love this :- I Need a Hero by Bonny Tyler

"Far above the clouds" - Mike Oldfield, in fact I have the entire "TB 3" on board.

There was a video posted here a few months back of US Army helos in action. The soundtrack was (I think) "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC (mentioned earlier by Trooping). It was extremely effective, I have to say I can't get it out of my mind (now there's an idea - Kylie ! :O )

Chase the Sun by Planet Funk and Elevation (Tomb Raider Mix) by U2.

Hunt out the Planet Funk song if you have not heard it, as it is really good.

In the movie Black Hawk Down there was this scene where they used VooDoo Child with Jimi Hendrix...very cool

Aces High / Iron Maiden
Paint it Black / Rolling Stones
One with Metallica
Orion with Metallica
Thunder Kiss ´65 / White Zombie
Ride of the Valkyries /Wagner ........of course
and many more.....
