ayavner Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hey all - just interested in what some of you think are some classic flying songs? You know, the way we think of something like Born to be Wild as a classic motorcycling song? I'll start it off with probably my favourite, some great guitar work and a really cool story - this the soundtrack in my head when I am daydreaming of flying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=videoseries, by the inimitable Stephen Stills. What are some of yours?? This thread could make for a very good flying mix tape/CD/playlist! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Old Blue Eyes, Lets Fly Away. I know it is not really flying as we know it but being an old timer I really like Sinatra. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrm, or Fly Me to The Moon for that matter... that'd be good for a night flight over the city lights 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Drifter Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 You guys should try looking up the "Dos Gringos" for some flying songs. They sing a good one about long distance flying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 A good post ayavner. Years ago I did a UK and return trip with a charter company Air Tours. When we reached Oz, coming back over Broome, they played Peter Allen's "I still call Australia Home" and all the Aussies on board absolutely sang their hearts out. It was brilliant, and I want to sing it each time I do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Then there's that wartime favourite, "Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer" Here's the link: OME 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbleboy Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 This is my favourite. When I need some inspiration to get out and build, I listen to this. Imagine flying in my open cockpit Piet, scarf blowing in the wind, leather helmet and goggles........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkNugqMMwxU 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayavner Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Well, not really a flying song necessarily but I guess in the vain of happy travelling, I would throw Marrakesh Express - Crosby, Stills and Nash - in the mix :-) GREAT stuff, and I like hearing some of the stories behind your ideas as well. Planedriver, that must have been quite a moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howard Hughes Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 This is my favourite flying song, I did a lot of flying into Memphis in the late 80's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq4lfW6TOoM Another one that most probably wouldn't think of, but listen closely and you might get it!
