Songs with an aviation theme

[Guest Glenn]

These are the two that I can think of right now that I like

 

John Denver - Leaving on a jet plane

 

Peter Allen - I still call Australia home

 

Anyone else think of any?

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

What about Jefferson Airplane?

 

Back in the USSR - The Beatles

 

 

[TAA Student Pilot]

"Big ole Jetplane' or something like that, Steve Miller Band.

 

One pretty late release from James Raine "To Live is to Fly"

"Big ole Jetplane'

Jet airliner

 

"learning to Fly" by the Foo Fighters, one of my favourite videos.

 

"It never rains in southern california" includes the line'caught the westbound seven..forrrty seven'

 

very bad from years ago

 

'boeing boeing 707, going, going going to heaven' I don't think it was disparaging about seattle airliners.

 

one thing i noticed..no songs about airbuses!

 

highway to the danger zone (topgun?)

 

the theme song from topgun (title eludes me at the moment, but it takes my breath away) by berlin- video set in a aircraft boneyard

 

american pie - don mclean (name of the aircraft buddy holly died in, now that song makes sense, or is it just a rumour)

 

jeffereson airplane became jefferson starship, then just plain (plane?) starship...which is the name of the ill conceived composite beechcraft pusher (53 built), which actually had a longer career than the band.

 

John Denver - Leaving on a jet plane

there were only two things wrong with john denver's plane - didn't fly and didn't float.

I'm on a roll now

 

My beautiful balloon by jimmy webb became the theme song for TAA (the airline not the website) up up and away etc the friendly friendly way which now leads to my ebay username and i'm learning html...

 

dead rockers who died in plane crashes

 

lynyrd skynyrd

 

john denver

 

stevie ray vaughan

 

buddy holly/big boppa/ and that la bamba bloke richie valens

 

 

[Guest vh-tqp]

obviously i need to learn more about html.

 

back to the list and i'm getting more obscure

 

skypilot (eric burdon?? the animals??) re vietnam or korean war

 

i was only 19 (redgum) mentions the ch7 chopper

 

khe sanh (cold chisel) the last plane out of sydney's almost gone

 

the screaming jets (the song by peter gabriel)

 

jet (paul mc cartney/ wings) actually this is about a jet black dog (not linda)

 

lear jets over kulgera (redgum)

 

 

[Guest Flyin_kiwi]

Learning to fly - Pink Floyd

 

Learning to fly - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
